Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.

I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
