My Feeling About School Was

I Think If The United States Gave Anything To Culture At Large In The 20th Century, The Most Important Contribution Made Was The Popular Song.

Mainly, When I Ran Into Emmylou Harris, That Was It, You Know? We Could Finish Each Other's Sentences Musically, And Personally, Too. We Have A Very Shared, Similar Sensibility. And That Was A Friendship That Really Opened Up A Tremendous Number Of Musical Doors For Me.

I Just Thought That I Was Going To Get To Sing For A Living And I Wouldn't Have To Go To Work In The Department Store Or Whatever Else You Did If You Were A Woman In Those Days.

When I Was Taking Arithmetic In The First Grade I Said To Myself, "i'm Going To Be A Singer. I Don't Have To Worry About Numbers." I Didn't Think I Was Going To Be Famous Or A Star.

Up Until About A Hundred Years Ago, The World Was Dark At Night. You Got To Have A Real Night So You Could Sleep.
