If it all just happened overnight, you would never learn to believe in what you cannot see.

I'm going to live what I believe

I think for a woman, the hardest thing about growing old is becoming invisible. There's something very front and center about being young.

I started my teenage years singing in churches across America, and finally wound up on a big stage.

I think the first time you try anything in a public way, you feel really exposed.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.

I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
