I would get in fights a lot. My voice was so heavy, kids would say you sound like a boy, so I would start beating them up.

I'm singing these songs to inspire you, to keep you going, to lift you up and give you a reason to get up in the morning

I feel so good singing songs that I sang with my father.

I just had a wonderful life, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

There is a great feeling in a small venue, with the closeness of the people and the intimacy.

Whenever somebody tells me they want me to stop singing, I'm gone.

There's still injustice happening in my world. I sing my songs at concerts and I'm so grateful that the people are ready to hear them.
