I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.
[On growing up in a large family with little money:] ... to take a bath ... we just had a pan of water and we'd wash down as far as possible, and we'd wash up as far as possible. Then, when somebody'd clear the room, we'd wash possible.
I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.
People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.
I've always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.
I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.
I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.
When I'm feeling a little low, I put on my favorite high heels to stand a little taller.
I can't do nothing just a little.
I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.
I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.
Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
