I've Always Believed In My Talent. And

When I Do Listen To Music, I'm More Prone To Listen To The People I've Always Listened To: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss And Emmylou Harris.

Everywhere I Go, The Kids Call Me 'the Book Lady.' The Older I Get, The More Appreciative I Seem To Be Of The 'book Lady' Title. It Makes Me Feel More Like A Legitimate Person, Not Just A Singer Or An Entertainer. But It Makes Me Feel Like I've Done Something Good With My Life And With My Success.

We Just Seem To Have Lost All Our Morals And Principles And Values These Days.

I Have A Life Outside The Arenas.

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.
