I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.

It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.

I was born in an odd spot and was a very sensitive kid. My feelings could get hurt so easily because I always wanted to be loved, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to touch somebody. I wanted everybody to love me, so I think I was louder than I should have been. I was just trying to get attention. I always felt like I was somebody special, maybe it's because I needed to be somebody special.

I've been guilty of most of the stuff that's been said about me to some degree. And if I ain't done it, I probably will.

I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.

My mistakes are no worse than yours.

I always had a very open mind and a very open heart. I always look for the good in everybody and the God in everybody. I play to that. And I just love people. I love the difference in people. I love getting to know people. I appreciate getting accepted myself, because I know I'm unusual. And I love the unusual in other people.
