I would love to write more children's books. There is such a high standard out there for children's books; there are really amazing writers. It is a fantastic creative outlet and such an amazing teaching tool. The thing I love about kids, too, is it is so imaginative and poetic.
Quote by -Jewel
I think being raised spending so much time outdoors was really important - while you're in it, you might not know, but now I think of the things I was thankful for.
Quote by -Jewel
There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself; you know, have fun, take chances. Those bounds.
Quote by -Jewel
I think family mealtime is really important. There's a lot of research that shows kids are going to do better in school and have more self-esteem if you can all sit down and eat together.
Quote by -Jewel
I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state - you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you, and so it's heartbreaking to hear people say snarky things.
Quote by -Jewel
I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.
Quote by -Jewel
My second record I used a producer, which was frustrating in a way, because I think a lot of the punky spirit and provocative nature of the lyrics didn't come across - the music was pretty.
Quote by -Jewel
There are a lot of things about fame that are not conducive to being curious. It's been important for me to cloister myself off.
Quote by -Jewel
I want my whole life to be a great work of art, not just my art. And that means paying attention to my entire life and trying to make sure my whole life is balanced.
Quote by -Jewel
I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.
Quote by -Jewel
My husband and I have kept a good balance between the work and the rest. I feel so lucky having a job, and I know so may people who focus too much on work, and their home lives suffer.
Quote by -Jewel
I guess I'm a Gemini through and through, but I'm mercurial. I get bored doing the same things.
Quote by -Jewel
Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
Quote by -Jewel
I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.
Quote by -Jewel
I get bored very easily. I have a voracious appetite and I do not feel alive if I'm repeating something I'm good at. So I'm always looking for new challenges.
Quote by -Jewel
I'm somebody who, as a child, had a lot of insecurity about stable housing, where I was going to be living, if I was going to have a roof over my head, all those types of things. And I know the impact it can have on you psychologically and emotionally.
Quote by -Jewel
I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
Quote by -Jewel
Some of my favorite poets had a tremendous sense of whimsy, so it's a writing style I guess I admire.
Quote by -Jewel
So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents.
Quote by -Jewel
I'm fairly specific about what I like to wear and looks are important to me, just like they are to everybody.
Quote by -Jewel
I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry,'
Quote by -Jewel
I love shows about creating and cooking. Sometimes they're so extraordinary, you end up setting yourself to fail.
Quote by -Jewel
When we're children we're told love is going to be great: Just fall in love, the rest will take care of itself - and then we fall in love and we realize, Okay, this is actually really, really hard work. This guy doesn't just tell me I'm great every day, you know?
