Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.
Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push-up bras.
Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I've got. Somebody's got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain't got this, somebody ain't got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
You can do anything you want to do as long as you keep a good attitude and keep working at it. But the second you give up, you’re screwed.
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.
We're all just a bunch of sinners, but we do the best we can.
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
I'd love to do a duet, always wanted to work with Madonna, but she never asked.
God and I have a great relationship but we both see other people.
I love watching keep-fit videos while munching chocolate chip cookies.
When people say to me less is more I reply, 'More is more'.
I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.
