Famous quotes by Jane Siberry:

"I ended my mail-order business, and I made that decision with regret, because my whole goal is to make my music available to people, not the opposite. But I couldn't handle it. I couldn't get the freedom I needed as an independent artist."

"I feel a huge release since I made this decision. I sold my house a few days ago, and I'm ready to start a new life. I don't need much money, because I've stripped things down to what's basic."

"My traditional records are just chosen from my longtime favorite songs. But I have lots of music left in me; I'm just waiting for it to arrive."

"There's an 'honor table' with a box of CDs and a money jar. They cost me $2 each to make, but a lot of people are paying $20. They say, 'There's no way to pay you more for your music,' so it opens the door for people who want to balance how much value they get from the songs."

"There's a red leaf that falls from a purple tree it falls it floats down One red leaf against a clear blue sky it floats down Past the marble in the lobby and the geese in flight To the darkening river in the autumn light Where it touches down O like a great bird landing."

"For to do things with care is the closest thing to love that I know"

"I'd probably be famous now if I wasn't such a good waitress."

"'The Taxi Ride,' from my second album, is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street, to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity, and that's a sad song."

"Everything I write is highly personal, but put in such a way that it's not dropping everything in someone's lap. Although sometimes I think 'The Taxi Ride' embarrasses me, because sometimes I think it's too close."

"I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock."

"I always seem to find myself fighting the law of equilibrium - the great leveling force that brings things to the mean and takes the 'cartoonishness' out of life. Perhaps I am doing a very unnatural thing... If Einstein were still alive I would ask him about it."

"I don't make decisions with my head anymore. If I don't get the go ahead with my gut, I usually back out."

"Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!"

"I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter."

"I am part of an age-old profession of musicianship. I believe these times require grounding, real-ness and fun. Let's do it. Whatever happens is all good."

"I started feeling it was wrong to withhold my music for money - as strange as that might sound!"

"Every night is different, a ball of thread that unrolls differently."

"I've always loved acoustic music because I've always loved to hear someone's words or just watch them and just get into them. The distancing thing about rock is it's so assaulting."

"Harmony is when the sum is greater than the parts. A happy exaggeration."

"Music is all about training in harmony, training to understand and use musical energy for our greater pleasure by attuning to the natural laws of the universe."
