Sarah McLachlan

“I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.”

“It's a great thing to be a part of a community and feel like you're contributing.”

“You have to be willing to be a fool to be a master.”

“Music is the purest form of art... and therefore the most direct expression of beauty.”

“I think I'm a pretty open book. I'm a real-life person. I'm not a very good actor.”

“My songs are my diary. They're my personal get-out-of-jail-free card.”

“The whole Lilith Fair thing was born out of frustration. We were told there was no interest in female artists.”

“Your love is better than ice cream, better than anything else that I've tried.”

“You’re in the arms of the angel; may you find some comfort here.”

“I think music is a great healer. It's a great tool for connection.”

“I'm not a political person. I'm a passionate person. I care about humanity.”

“We are born innocent. We are polluted by advice.”

“The most important thing in life is to love and be loved.”

“I think it’s really important to find a balance. I think it’s okay to be a little selfish sometimes. You know, you can’t be a martyr all the time.”

“Art is the last bastion of hope in a world that is becoming increasingly cynical.”

“I've always had a great love of music since I was a little girl.”

“I have a great faith in humanity. I believe that people are inherently good.”

“I don't think I'm a great singer. I'm a good storyteller.”
