Boy, you better pray that I bleed real soon.

In real life I'm bone dry and when I play I'm a mango and in sex I'm starving to be a dripping mango

I remember driving to North Carolina when I was a little girl in a snowstorm to get down to my mom's family in the Carolinas. There were chains on the car - it was the late sixties - and we were just singing in the car. Christmas carols.

If you really want a challenge, just deal with yourself.

I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I'm a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes.

The most important thing to me as a songwriter is the breath. The most important thing I could say to somebody is, 'Sometimes I just breathe you in.'

People assume that all artists make for terrible business people, but I'm in complete charge of my own career.
