I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.

If I hadn't been a woman, I'd have been a drag queen

You never know what's going to happen to you when you head out into the big world. And when you get older, you don't know how you're going to be thought of or seen.

I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.

I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.

I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'
