I had been singing since I was 3 years old, so my love of singing was always there.

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

Whatever happened to the tomboy I used to be, the slightly rebellious rocker?

I gave up my childhood for a career.

I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.

I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.
