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.

When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.

I hope you're never happy with anybody but me, and every face you look into, I hope you're haunted by me. Yes, I'm possessive and jealous, at least I speak honestly.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

Energy begets energy.

My husband says I look like a Q-tip.

I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.
