The only person who can save you is you: That going to be the thing that informed the rest of my life. — Sheryl Crow

Being diagnosed with cancer really opened my eyes to the fact anyone can have it and that even though we think we have control over everything in our lives, we don’t. — Sheryl Crow

Being diagnosed with a possibly life–threatening disease is so jarring and for me to know that God had me in his hands, I never felt alone. — Sheryl Crow

I thrive on being on the road, waking up in a different place every day and having my life revolve around music. When you walk out in front of 300,000 people and pull it off, it validates you. — Sheryl Crow

I feel like I’ve passed through a certain door in my life and that I’m standing in a different room now. — Sheryl Crow

One night, Don Henley called, and I told him, ‘I’m washing dishes and bike shorts.’ He said, ‘It’s in the domestic exercises of life that one will find the biggest inspiration.’ And he was right. — Sheryl Crow

Just wondering why I feel so all alone, why I’m a stranger in my own? — Sheryl Crow

As both a musician and a former teacher, I feel that music is as important to kids as reading and writing. — Sheryl Crow

I have a healthy cynicism, but not anger. — Sheryl Crow

I have yet to write that one song that defines my career. — Sheryl Crow

I don’t set goals for myself too much, but I’m always trying to write that one great song. — Sheryl Crow

The video forum for me has been a source of great consternation because once you start projecting a look to a song, it robs the listener of their ability to adopt that song and make the lyric their own. — Sheryl Crow

Most writers like to maintain some sort of anonymity. For me, making videos was an assault. — Sheryl Crow

Making miracles is hard work, most people give up before they happen. — Sheryl Crow
