With the help of a friend I got father into a wagon when the crowd had gone. I held his head in my lap during the ride home. I believed he was mortally wounded. He had been stabbed down through the kidneys leaving an ugly wound.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

I usually write away from home in coffee shops on trains on planes in friends' houses. I like places where there's stuff going on that you can lift your eyes see something interesting overhear a conversation.

All of a sudden to get all of this attention and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.

At home we're the hosts and I never liked the idea of being embarrased in front of our friends.

After my tour I had time to stay at home be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working it's 100%. When I'm with my friends I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.

If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home you've made a whole new load of friends and she's made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you're kind of strangers.

I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

To be honest when I'm home every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

One never reaches home but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance chaos to order confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast a house into a home a stranger into a friend.

A heart makes a good home for the friend.

I love grocery shopping when I'm home. That's what makes me feel totally normal. I love both the idea of home as in being with my family and friends and also the idea of exploration. I think those two are probably my great interests.

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory friends you can trust love of learning and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.

In the tumult of men and events solitude was my temptation now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?

Strangers are exciting their mystery never ends. But there's nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.

President Barack Obama has stood watch over the greatest job loss in modern American history. And that my friends is one inconvenient truth that will haunt this President throughout history.

We therefore here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy and we like them will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

When my friends have a health concern they call me. I've always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.

By adopting a wonderful mutt you'll save a life and help reduce animal homelessness while also boosting your chances of a more robust new furry friend as mixed-breed dogs have demonstrated better health and longer life spans than their purebred cousins.
