I was shy. Bookish. The kind of 13-year-old girl who, instead of having a boyfriend, would have a crush on a dead, 19th-century author!

I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!

I've never sold my publishing. I have 100% control of all of my publishing and that includes everything, every use of my songs.

I feel we all have the obligation, myself. I want to live in a more humane, civilized society, and I feel like the only way we're going to achieve that is if we all take it upon ourselves. I just wish we could be a more caring society. I feel like we're social Darwinists who believe that everyone has to make it on their own. But the reality is that we all don't start out on the same footing.

I go to the river from time to time to ponder over the crazy days in my life. Watch the river flow, ease my mind and soul where I go.

Im going to be shaking my booty when Im 55.

I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.
