Sheryl Crow

I try to conduct my life with a little levity.

The writing process for me is pretty much always the same - it's a solitary experience.

Your art kind of changes as you get older, by nature of the fact that you're hopefully gaining wisdom and you're starting to watch things with a better overview.

People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.

Where I fit in is confusing to me.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about regrets because there's nothing I can do.

Some people are really good at maneuvering their careers and images and I'm not one of those people.

I've only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it's not very long!

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.

I hate how I've had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We've had some issues, but that is the nature of business.

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.

The beauty of having a producer is that you have someone who says, You're finished.
