Sheryl Crow said in an interview:

I think everybody on the planet feels alone, even when they're in the greatest relationships or surrounded by family. In fact, in many ways, when you're with someone you care about, you feel more alone than if you were by yourself…. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. That's the only true fear I have, because what else is there but love? Not to sound completely elementary, but it's what people have written songs about for hundreds of years, and it's really the only thing that matters. It's what motivates you, edifies you, encourages you. It's what brings you the most joy and the most wisdom. So that is what I long for— the consummate love.
