We love singing harmony, ... And no one has to carry the burden of the weight, which is wonderful. ... There's no pressure. It really came together kind of naturally. We all loved the same songs.
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.
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.
After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.
Wildflowers don't care where they grow.
A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.
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.
Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.
I'll oil wells love you. I'll oil wells care. I'll oil wells need you. I want you oil wells dear.
I will shed the sins and struggles, I have carried all these years. And I'll leave my heart wide open, I will love and have no fear.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
There was a circle of friends, and a circle of performers, and a circle of love at the old place.
