I would never say I had a bad childhood at all.

I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and 'why me,' or I can look at it through love and say, 'This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: 'Hey, you're out of balance here. It's time to get in line with yourself.'

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.

There's a point when your tape of life runs off the reel and there's this stillness of your own - I got to know myself.

My ultimate joy and happiness is being a wife and mother.

I tell people that anything that could ever happen to you on stage has happened to me. My clothes have fallen off. I've fallen off the stage. I've gotten sick - anything.

Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
