I don't judge. I'm not God. We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.

We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.

So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.

If we can't be true to ourselves, what can we be true to?

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.
