Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie. The new ones are exciting because they're fresh. But if it's not that, if the story is not what you get into, maybe it's the crowd response. You hit the first chords of 'She's In Love With The Boy' and 20,000 people start to scream, you're pretty motivated. You get what you need. And it's a great story. It works.

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.

Nobody who cooks does it with full hair and makeup in front of a TV camera.

What's meant to be will always find a way.

I don't interest myself that much.

She's got her God and she's got good wine, Aretha Franklin, and Patsy Cline.

People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.
