It seems like the more I give the more I get, and that is the way it is supposed to go in life.

If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.

The freewill you have given, we have made a mockery of.

I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most of the diets.

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.

It's great at this stage in my life to still be in the running, that people appreciate you.
