I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
I never have changed in my taste, and the things that I love, and the way that I act, and all that. I never wanted to change, I just wanted to be successful, and be able to do more things for more people, and for myself as well.
I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
I have surrounded myself with very smart people.
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.
I love story songs because I've always loved books.
Oh, I can spot a phoney a mile away.
People make jokes about my bosoms, why don't they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It's obvious I've got big ones and if people want to assume they're not mine, then let them.
You never know what's going to happen to you when you head out into the big world. And when you get older, you don't know how you're going to be thought of or seen.
My grandpa was a preacher.
I know who I am, I know what I can and can't do. I know what I will and won't do. I know what I'm capable of and I don't agree to do things that I don't think I can pull off.
I think that I know the value of a dollar.
