I try to see the good in everybody, and I don’t care who people are as long as they’re themselves, whatever that is.
I’ve always been fascinated by everything with wings.
I’m comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it’s stretched. Ha ha.
I’m a singer, a writer and an actress – when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.
I’d love to do a duet, always wanted to work with Madonna, but she never asked.
I always wanted to be loved.
I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself – let’s put it that way.
I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.
I listen to my old records and I think, ‘How did I ever get on the radio?’
I know it’s corny – but I love ‘Jingle Bells!’
I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be ‘sexy,’ even before I knew what the word was.
I don’t make people bend over backwards, and I don’t like that in people. I am definitely no diva.
I don’t have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
We’re all just a bunch of sinners, but we do the best we can.
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
Everybody has a purpose.
Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we’ve got more strength than we think we do.
