All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

I'm a showgirl, as you can tell. I'm ever ready.

Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.

It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.
