I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.

All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.

Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating? Oh, but why he lets us feel things, if it's wrong.

I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.
