I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.

I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.

I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.

You can do anything you want to do as long as you keep a good attitude and keep working at it. But the second you give up, you’re screwed.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

I look like a woman, but I think like a man.

My husband calls me 'catfish.' He says I'm all mouth and no brains.
