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

My life has been very full.

I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.

My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. It was a sin to even pluck your eyebrows, and they thought it was a sin for me to be there looking like Jezebel.

If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.

I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.

I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.
