Quotes

Jewel: There are two reasons you can have this job. One is because you wanna be famous and the other is because you like the craft. Just know which one motivates you because you have to make fifty decisions every day that supports one or the other, whether you know it or not. (edit)
Jewel: (about being a judge in a talent show) I love to see people try and taking risks. I'm not that interested in somebody being dramatically perfect. I don't think I'd be the kind of judge they were looking for on these shows. To me some of the imperfections are virtues. I'm not interested in someone who looks and sounds so perfect. (edit)
Jewel: Children are told so many fairy tales, and then life really works out differently and I think it causes a lot of us to become cynical or bitter because life never quite adds up to this continuously satisfied, happy world. We're constantly trying to escape our circumstance to get to this utopia that I don't think really exists. (edit)
Jewel: I've never been one for really fancy things. The things that thrill me are that I can afford medication, go to the movies whenever I want, get on a plane whenever I want. (edit)
Jewel: (about the message of her album Goodbye Alice in Wonderland) It's art -- it sure isn't religion, and in no shape or form meant to be didactic on any level. My only rule with myself is to tell the truth about my life and where I am. (edit)
