I like to think I've been a good example and an inspiration to some people. And some people say that about me, but I'm just going about my work and doing what I do best. I'm a very professional 'Me.'

Well, I do listen to God for direction, but I really don't have time to listen to other artists all that much.

I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

Even now, if I am thinking about spending a lot of money on clothing or furniture, I think 'I can't spend so much money on one thing; my poor old Daddy could have raised his family five years on that!'

You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.

My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.
