I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
I think there is a little magic in the fact that I'm so totally real but look so artificial at the same time.
I used to feel so proud to be there with what I thought at the time were where the legends and heroes has stood and had sung. And I've been in the business so long, I've almost become one of them. So it's like I'm standing in my own footsteps.
Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
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.
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!
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.
