I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.

I'm just a person; I like to experience whatever the feeling is and whatever I'm going through.

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'

I was born in an odd spot and was a very sensitive kid. My feelings could get hurt so easily because I always wanted to be loved, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to touch somebody. I wanted everybody to love me, so I think I was louder than I should have been. I was just trying to get attention. I always felt like I was somebody special, maybe it's because I needed to be somebody special.

I always loved that old song Banks of the Ohio - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

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.
