I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.

I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.

It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.

Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind; but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.

There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.

There are some loony people in this world!

My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.
