"Music commands how we feel, dictates what we experience in our feelings." ― Sheryl Crow Topic(s): Experience More From Sheryl Crow "I draw from my family and my friends and I feel like that small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic possessions have really become to mean less. They mean nothing." "That feeling of freedom, open highways of possibilities, has kind of been lost to materialism and marketing." "Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it’s not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the ’60s." More In Experience "That’s not to say that women’s priorities are better than men’s. Rather, when women are empowered, when they can speak from the experience of their own lives, they often address different, previously neglected issues.

It can be almost a near-religious experience."― Emily Mortimer
