I don't really think about having had a hard life. It was just my life, and it's all I knew. It made me who I am - all the good and bad - and it's where all of the songs on Here For The Party came from. I've lived them all.

I've always been the kind of woman who had a man in her life even when he was the wrong man.

Good music is good music.

My daughter is a redneck woman, she's a redneck girl.

I don't want to be ignorant in my daughter's eyes.

All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education.

Today, if you were to look at my CD collection, it might scare some people.
