I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

I'm on a seafood diet - I see food, I eat it.

If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.

Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.

I'm a showgirl, as you can tell. I'm ever ready.

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

Goodbye- please don't cry/we both know that I'm not what you need. But I will always love you.
