I’ve never been a feminist.
I’m just a friendly person; that runs in my family.
Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I’ve already had, my face pretty much maintains itself.
I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
When you’re 40, you can’t ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
People say I look so happy – and I say, ‘That’s the Botox.’
Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn’t get some of that stuff out.
A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.
Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I’m always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.
I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.
What people do behind closed doors is certainly not my concern unless I’m there with them.
My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. It was a sin to even pluck your eyebrows, and they thought it was a sin for me to be there looking like Jezebel.
A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.
I’m one of those people that if its something to eat I’m going to eat the whole thing, If I’m going to be in love I’m going to love you all the way and if my heart’s broken, it’s just shattered all to pieces.
I write anywhere. I’m always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I’m doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I’ll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone’s sexual preferences are or if they’re black, brown or purple.
I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I’ve received through the years. But I’ve always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I’ve always counted my blessings before I’ve counted my money. I’m glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
