I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.

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

I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.

I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'

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

I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.
