I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold.

I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.

I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.

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

My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.

I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
