I think that I know the value of a dollar.

Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of.

I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.

Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind; but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.

My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.

I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.

Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
