Sarah McLachlan

“Trying to force creativity is never good.”

“I have a full life: I have two amazing kids, I have great friends, great family. And right now, that's plenty for me to manage. A new relationship just seems like way too much work.”

“There's beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that's harder than others.”

“Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.”

“I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to go crazy. I don't party like I used to.”

“Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates.”

“Change and growth is so painful. But it's so necessary for us to evolve.”

“It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.”

“I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.”

“I spent a lot of years on the road, and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I've had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand.”
