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.

I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.

I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.

People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.

I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.

Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of.

Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
