I have been around for a long, long time. I didn't make it 'til I was older. I went through the period when women were not getting signed, particularly if you were writing songs that were lyrically propelled.

I draw from my family and my friends and I feel like that small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic possessions have really become to mean less. They mean nothing.

We are a testament to the importance of early detection and new treatments. I encourage all women everywhere to advocate for themselves and for their future. See your doctor and be proactive about your health.

There ain't nothing like regret to remind you're alive.

I am learning. I'm a slow learner. I repeat myself three times, relationship wise.

However I am is however I am. When you see me onstage or in the press, there's not a lot of thought and calculation that goes into it.

People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.
