When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.

I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.

You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.

I'm proud of being part Cherokee, and I think it's time all us Indians felt the same way.

I know what it's like to be pregnant and nervous and poor.

You ain't supposed to get salmon when they're swimming upstream to spawn. But if you're hungry, you do.

If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!
