I hope I'm an integrous person who cleans up their messes when I've been a jerk.

I don't know if I'm a heroine; I'm just somebody that can cheer the troops by singing to folks, and have receptions after the show, and tithe a dollar of every ticket sale for all kinds of different great charities and social action groups.

You create the happiness and the balance that you have, and your own power. This is one thing that I know to be true.

I'm glad I get singled out for my slide guitar-playing, which isn't that difficult to do. I didn't take guitar lessons, but I just love the way it sounds, almost like the human voice.

I learned by experience that you can change your circumstance. It's as simple as the serenity prayer; it's a very, very real thing.

I just want to be as good a person as I can be.

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby - nothing more.
