“And then I think about the people there are. I think also that this isn't a vacation for and who they don't get to stay home and they still have to. Crazy, crazy hours out in the middle of it all, you know, seeing those visuals of so many of those healthcare professionals just covered in garbage bags because that's all they can do to try to... Keep them safe. And I saw this one thing where they were saying, you know, I can't be home with my family. So since you can enjoy it.”

“That's an important one because I think that we all sometimes are afraid of our brightness. So don't be afraid of your greatness. Don't be afraid of how bright and brilliant and unbelievable you are. We don't have to dim down. And that took me a long time to learn. And I'm finally full-wattage, no holding back.”

“Much power. I mean, I used to do this. I tell the story in this book where I used to do a thing where I was like, you know my luck. And I would do this thing where I would say that. So since then my friend Kerry who worked on a lot of the music with me would say like, why do you say that? And since then I've become much more conscious. I don't even say the word try anymore. I definitely don't say the word can't anymore. I never say the word fail. And I don't say the word if. When people say if that, no. No if when.”

“I really wanted to play if I ain't got you because I think that where we are right now and just how everybody's feeling, I think that we recall more than ever what really matters. And I think right now we see that our connection with each other is the most important. And this is one of my favorites, so I thought it'd be good.”

“To grow in these ways. And it is absolutely, that is totally, I feel what happens between us. It's very, very. And I've never met a person that I've related to more than him”

“Yes, no, that's it. Wow, I've actually never heard it described like that, but that resonates like such a yes for me and for us. And I mean, because we couldn't be more different. We're truly two opposite people in so many ways. But that's what I think makes it makes the spirituality growth part happen because where he has more of the freedom or he has more of the, like I said, he has open space for magic. I was always very regimented and kind of, you know, I was structured and I would plan things so perfectly. But he just kind of flows through the day. So obviously when we come together, he gives me a piece of that magic and that flow and then I give him a piece of that structure because it's actually necessary for both.”

“The truth. Yeah, I mean, you know, I guess there was some interview that he was saying and he makes all his beats in 10 minutes. And I was like, ugh, of course he makes his beats in 10 minutes. Have you heard his beats? So I had all this judgment about him and all these thoughts that I had and when we actually worked together, you know, what happened was he's a conduit. He's like, he's an open conduit and he's so clear about what he allows the space for magic. That's what I've learned from him a lot. And because he allows that space, he lets things come out without judging it, without overthinking it, without trying to impress with it. He just, and we literally sat in that room in 10 minutes, we created a thing. And I was like, Okay, I get it.”

“Which led us to the resounding yes, and you were saying the reason why nobody knows more than you is because only you know what resonates with you and you know when there's an opportunity for you if it feels right. But I didn't know how to say And had I fast forward some years later, had I felt that feeling in your gut where it's just like, this is not right, then it's not right.”

“The most important song because my business was changing and there was a lot of people that were started out in my life on a business side that were no longer in my life. And I felt like I needed to find new people who could fill those holes. And you shared with me that you had also found times in your life where that had happened. And that's when you realized that nobody knows you better than you.”

“But I think that what you realize is and what I started to learn, that happened for quite a long time until I realized that nobody knows you better than you. They might know the business better than you. They might have been in it longer than you, and they might have certain experiences, but they don't know, nobody knows you better than you. But it really wasn't until I talked to you that I even really figured out how to make that make sense Fundamentally, but how do you actually”

“I think there was at the beginning, I definitely felt a very clear sense of what I knew I wanted to do even as an artist, as a piano player, as a woman, as a writer, as a creator of my own sound. I knew that I didn't want to dilute that. Even when I spoke to you that first time on the show, you were like, you write all your things. And I was like, I do. And you said a woman after my own heart. But over time, I think you start to get less clear even over time. You start to get less clear about what you start to think other people have all the answers because they have more experience.”

“I remember it like this yesterday. I remember being on those stairs. I remember being so in shock and in awe and I couldn't even believe what was happening. I remember begging you for a journal. I begged you for a journal and you went up to your room and you brought me down a journal And I wrote a poem. I wrote the way that I felt.”

“Yes, definitely. I think sometimes, you know, we go so fast, which is kind of what I think is happening right now. Go so fast, we're so busy where we all got our dreams. We're trying to get. We got to get the kids ready. We got the family. We got the, you know, we got everything going on and we don't get a minute to just connect with each other in a way that's meaningful, especially people we don't know. And so I think in some ways right now, you know, we're connecting with each other. in a way that maybe we haven't always had the time to.”

“I did with Ed Sheeran and Johnny McDade both wrote On the Dog with Me, two incredible writers. So I don't know. It's incredible how music music is really getting us through this time so much as always. It's such powerful. Emotional, you know, just relief.”

“Oh, thank you, thank you. And just right now in this moment of thinking about everybody thinking about all the first responders, thinking about everybody who is in the medical field and working so hard to keep everybody to access people and just the love I think we're feeling for each other and the way that we're out here defying the odds you know I think this song means more than ever to me personally which you call it”

“Yes, I get terrified when I'm doing classical. Something of a... It's something about the intricacy. It's very complex. When I play my own music, I could always pivot. I know I've written those chords. I know what to do with them. I can kind of like come back around and change it and freestyle it. But when you're playing someone else's music that's very specifically written, You really have to play it perfectly in that way. And so I think that gives me a lot of insight.”

“Hearing that again reminded me that I was there to celebrate their unbreakable bond and I relaxed because again I found a purpose of I reminded myself of the purpose of being there and And then I was playing for them. And it was so, it gave me, it gave me a certain silence. Wow.”

“I was shaking like I did when I was a kid. Like when I was a kid and played those classical recitals, my feet would shake, my hands would shake, my body would, I would be overcome with nerves. And prior to me performing, I sat there next to my husband and I watched Vanessa and I saw Beyonce perform and I saw our friends and our family and I was shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't believe that this was happening and how could a wife even stand up there and a mother and I was just like overwrought with emotion that I'm sure all of us were. And then I was reminded why she asked me to perform the song and I heard about their love story again because the guy who came on before me explained it to everybody that Kobe had learned the moonlight sonata for Vanessa. And I remember.”

“So I thank you for the acknowledgement, but really I think it was the fact that we all needed each other so much in that moment that it allowed us to be open or be loving in a way that maybe we wouldn't have normally been open for as much.”

“Oh yes, Aladdin of a lot of prayer, a lot of meditation. I prayed hard and I wanted to make sure we honored it properly and also acknowledged it properly because it was out. It was hours before. It was that”

“Keep your frequency high. Yes, because I think it's very disconcerting, obviously. It's troubling. It's scary. I'm sure a lot of us know people who are sick or ill or having difficulties. And you want your family to be safe. And many of us are not with our families because we're in different locations. So you just feel very uncomfortable and you feel out of control in a lot of ways. And I think the normality of our everyday... You don't have that. I was even thinking how many people sometimes you're not even getting dressed because you're like, well, I don't have to get dressed. So I'm just going to like chill. Which Good, but then after a while you messes with your head.”

“And I was just saying, you know, the planet needs a little break too and needs to regenerate and rejuvenate. It needs us all to kind of do that as well.”

“But I think we are seeing that we're very good together. We do have a good flow together, which I think could become quite difficult naturally when you're kind of always together, always in close quarters. Sometimes you can, maybe all the things that you haven't quite worked through could come out. I find that we're actually quite good together. We have a nice balance. There's something about the age of the kids that's at a distant place because at a certain time that was trickier too, where the age difference sometimes just creates just So that's one thing I'm happy for, that we have a good connection there. I think that we're definitely feeling a lot, I think the gratitude for the little things.”

“He said, Mom, you being mean to me. I said, I'm not being mean to you. You have to do this particular thing. You got to do it, E. So let's come on and do it. But that balance between being strong enough to make sure that they're staying on track and staying connected to what they're needing to do because it's hard to self-start, to actually have to self-start yourself and complete a project. The social element, it's really, really hard. So he did call me mean. I think he was just a little frustrated because I'm tough, but I'm not mean. And so it's all good.”

“What I'm finding is that I know I don't feel like I have any time personally. I know that sounds so weird because we're all talking about how we're not doing as much as how we normally do and that kind of thing. But I'm finding that obviously with the kids home and then with us all together I don't have the space that maybe I was able to carve out before. personal space that's a struggle a little bit”

“We're doing good walks. We're doing like bike rides and kind of scooter rides or stuff like that. And I'll run behind them. And we're doing Monopoly. Oh man, it's the endless games of endless nights of monopoly. I'm getting beat real bad. I don't know why I can't seem to win monopoly is making me a little frustrated, but we're getting there. We're doing books. We're reading every day, you know, for a certain amount of time. That's good. We're working out. We're doing sit-ups. Even Genesis is trying to get a six-pack popping.”

“My family is good. We're good. We're healthy and we're feeling well. My youngest Genesis is a homebody anyway. So it took me so much to get him out the house anyway. So he couldn't be happier. And the older ones are definitely missing their friends and just asking, what's going on and how long do you think it's going to be going on? But I think that we're doing some good things. I like to try to have some type of routine that's happening for them so that they can look forward to it. But we're doing well and we are keeping our spirits high.”

“Yeah, me too. I think there's a beautiful embodiment of so many type of relationships that I think that we have. And it's fair because you don't really have those type of relationships with many people. I find I don't, so I really appreciate those different levels”
