When I got somethin' to say, I'll say it.

When I get down, I don't waller around for long.

I always wanted to be loved.

I used to sing songs and write with my uncle, Bill Owens.

It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.

I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.

I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.

Never leave a rhinestone unturned.

I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.
