Мне очень понравилась эта цитата. Жирным выделено то, на что мне показалось главным в ней.
"Um, it's kind of like trying to stay alive. At that point, "Little Earthquakes" (название альбома) was my first, um, attempt at getting out of the egg. You know that little chicken that kinda kicks out the egg (imitates chicken) and says, "OK, um, what have I really not been saying all these years?" You know you can wear the plastic snake pants and put 15,000 holes in your body, which is fine. Enjoy it (laughter). But what am I saying? I'm just saying absolutely Nothing. So I started to think about... what is the most powerful thing I can do for myself. The Truth is actually the most shocking thing you can do because nobody really hears it much. So when you start saying things truthfully, and I mean truthfully, there's no greater .. (sighs) .. Freedom than that, and I was really dying. So I had to find out, I had taken on all of these belief systems. Whether you go from .. Christianity, to Buddhism, to God, .. I'm going to be one of those Mary Magdalenes, YES (raises arms). I mean, to finally say, "No, wait a minute, I'm just, who's this redhead?" Dyed of course. But, you know, what are my beliefs? Not what you want me to believe. Or what I should believe. But what do I Really, Really believe? And if there are a million people telling me I'm out of my mind, that should really be inconsequential. Because it's not your truth, it's gotta be mine. And same with you, you know?"
