Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.

When I got somethin' to say, I'll say it.

I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.

I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.
