-My biggest mistake...
-Wow. Um...
-Uh...
-I don't know if I wanna go there.
-I think I have a lot. [ Laughs ]
-Well, we all have mistakes. The point is to grow from 'em.
But I've certainly squandered a lot in my life, you know?
-There's times where I've said no to opportunities
that I kind of wonder,
like, "Oh, what if I would've gone there?"
I could've gone to study in Germany
for ballet in college.
And I, because of the time and where I was in my life,
I chose not to go.
But I kind of wonder about that sometimes.
-I always fear about making mistakes.
But fear and worry is kind of, like, tools
that we should never even think about or use.
-My biggest mistake
is my fear of mistakes, I would say.
If I were more outgoing and not so concerned
with being perfect
and trying to make everything right, in the end,
I think you're happier when you're not thinking so much
about trying to do everything right.
-It's a good thing
to do mistakes because you learn out of it.
And you can't walk through the life
without making mistakes because nobody's perfect.
So me, too.
-As a mother, are you kidding?
That's where the big mistakes are.
I think my mistakes were being too timid as a mother
and not having more self-confidence,
not being afraid to just say
what I felt and do what I thought was best.
I think I was always doubting myself
and more than I should have.
-A lot of my mistakes in my life
have been financially, the things
that are really dragging me down.
When I was in Austin,
I was tryin' to support myself fully with my music,
and I couldn't.
And I created a house of cards
that was destined to fall eventually.
But I found that all these things
pushed me on my way towards my destiny.
By losing everything, literally, I gained everything I needed.
-I've learned a lot from my own mistakes.
And my mistakes were huge.
I used to get tore up a lot from the ages of 21 to 27.
By all of those mistakes that I made,
I finally have realized what it's like, now,
at 28, to be sober.
To see the whole world in a whole different view.
And I think that's the most positive thing
that has happened.
I've reached sobriety by my mistakes.
-The mistake that I continue to make
and learn from is not trusting your gut.
You've made that mistake before of holding back.
And you've seen what it's cost you.
And so the second time, if you're about to make
a life change,
um, like, I --
I'm making a semi-life change right now.
Yeah, I'm getting out of a relationship.
And I'm betting on myself and it's scary.
It's scary, you know?
Like, with everything like that.
But you just have to jump.
-A lot of people are afraid of making little mistakes, even.
And I think it just keeps you from moving forward,
from doing things that might be really wonderful.
It just, sort of, limits you and makes your life smaller.
-The only mistake, really, I think, actually,
it just kind of came to me, is not in getting back up.
And you fall down from whatever it is that,
you know, you just got to get back up.
