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.

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

I dont think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.

God has never disappointed me.

The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.

I always loved reading. I always was the spelling bee champion. I always loved words. I always wanted to know what they meant, why you used them, who first said them. I was always interested in that.
