If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.

I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.

It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, "hey, goodbye!" and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.

I believe in education and wish I had a better one.

I was married when I wasn't quite 14 and had four babies by the time I was 18.

We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.

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