The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.
From Melissa Etheridge
I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.
I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
I write songs for people who drive in cars. I really do.
My kids and I love to listen to Bill Cosby.
I have days when I say, 'I'm going to have five chocolate chip cookies today.' I'll have a salad every day but every week I have a cheat day.
When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.
On the road, as a 'rock star,' there's superficial attention and adulation is thrown at you for a couple of hours - then you're alone in your room and it's lonely.
What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.
