My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.

My husband said 'show me your boobs' and I had to pull up my skirt... so it was time to get them done!

That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.

I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.

Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

People make jokes about my bosoms, why don't they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It's obvious I've got big ones and if people want to assume they're not mine, then let them.

God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.
