I didn't get bullied any more than anybody else. I think I got bullied more for being poor than being gay. But no more than any other kid. And I'm sure that I did my fair share of picking on other kids, too. We're all humans.

Even before I had a daughter, I was passionate about global women's issues, but now that she's here, I'm even more inspired to leave a better world for Evangeline.

All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.

I tend to feel really protective of songs, and if they aren't sitting well in a record, I'll pull them tight to my chest until I feel it's a better time.

You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.

There is a creator and a redeemer, and the purpose of it all is love.

You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye.
