I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children.

I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'

I will never retire unless I have to.

I can't keep somebody from being a star, and I can't make somebody a star, and nobody can.

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
