I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.

I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

Well, my smile's pretty hard to miss, considering I'm a gal who likes her lipstick-the redder the better.

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 come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.

You can't just wish to be a millionaire; you have to figure out how to earn it.
