When I sing, I have a sense of peace, I feel like my brain turns off, and I become the core person of who I am – the essence of me. I feel connected to whatever is out there. Its almost like I leave my body and get to watch. – Michelle Branch
I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didnt exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips. – Michelle Branch
Im lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad. – Michelle Branch
