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.

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.

I do have a natural sense for business, which I think I get from my Dad.

I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.

I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.

I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.

I always think of myself as a working girl.
