I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely, nothing else to do but close my mind. I sure hope the road don't come to own me, there's so many dreams I've yet to find. But you're so far away.

Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.

I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.

I'm like a plant, I reach for the sun.

I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.
