The world is my stage. 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!

I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.

We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.

I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.

I'll oil wells love you. I'll oil wells care. I'll oil wells need you. I want you oil wells dear.

Music is my personal addiction. So much of everything I've done has only been to open more doors for the music itself. It all gets back to the fact that I am, first of all, a songwriter and a singer.

There's a lot of women now with a whole lot of style but they are not necessarily song stylists. Some of their style is a lot like me and a lot of people sound a lot alike - you can't tell them apart.
