Mom sobbed something into Dad's chest that I wish I hadn't heard, and that I hope she never finds out that I did hear. She said, "I won't be a mom anymore." It gutted me pretty badly.

For me, at least, all of my career goals, all of my focus, everything just shifted and the importance was my children, and that's where all the joy came from as well.

The songwriting was almost like something I did while I was waiting for my daughter to come back.

I have a tendency to coddle my sons because I want to keep them safe, but I also want them to be strong and independent and curious and bold, and I worry that my coddling is going to have exactly the opposite effect.

There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.

I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.
