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.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.

Got those moods a swinging, tears a slinging, nothing fits me, when it hits me, ranting, raving, misbehaving, PMS blues.

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
