In a sense, I'm always hearing music of some sort, whether it's people talking or surface noise or whatever, because there is no privacy. So when I'm by myself, I just kind of like to be and reflect, and I can't do that when I'm listening to music. Because it's someone else's reflections, not mine.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
When you're making music or playing a song, I find the moments when there are no instruments being played even stronger than when they are being played. Because they add tension. It's also an ego-less thing - a place where you have no ego - when you're with a bunch of musicians who stop and listen instead.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to go crazy. I don't party like I used to.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
There's nothing particularly unique about my experiences except that they're my experiences.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
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.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
Half the bloody world is going through a divorce; more than that are having children. All of us have parents who are dying or have died. It's just the life cycle.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I'll answer anything... I'm brutally honest, actually, which gets me in trouble.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
The more we take the less we become, the fortune of one man means less for some.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I go out on the road for much longer than I probably should and lose more of myself than I should.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I've always been incredibly lucky that the music that I make, other people like it.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
They are very personal, emotional songs - people react to them very strongly.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
'Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
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.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
And music has always been incredibly cathartic for me, whether it's writing my own stuff or singing other people's music; it's very freeing.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
Running is very rhythmic, and I have written a lot of lyrics while out running. It's a very musical exercise, and sometimes I like to sing when I run. Your whole body is doing the same thing.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I feel like I really tapped into a pretty honest emotional place for myself as a lyricist. There's a broad spectrum of emotions.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
With every record I put out, I got a bit more success, a bigger following in cities I would play in, and occasionally a bit of radio play.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
There's no reason for anybody to jump out of bushes to take pictures of me. I'm not doing anything exciting.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I'm not a media darling. I'm not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didn't.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
For me, that's one of the best validations as an artist. To have a stranger come up to you and say that something you've created and put out there in the world has had some sort of impact on other people's lives.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.
Quote by -Sarah McLachlan
I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.
