I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.

Doolittle looked just like a little toy soldier the first time I ever saw him.

I believe in horoscopes. I was born under the sign of the Ram, which means I'm headstrong, don't like people telling me what to do.

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.

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

You have to be the first, best or different.

I love people and I love to sing, and that's what keeps me going.
