I would stay in my room for days, for days at times, just trying to get it together, to know what my next phase was going to be.

I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.

I'm not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn't do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don't have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on.

My name is not Susan, so watch what you say. If you still need her, then be on your way.

When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.

You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness; it makes it worthwhile.

Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
