I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.

I'm not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

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

People will use you as long as you let them.

I love story songs because I've always loved books.

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

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
