My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.

• I don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.
• Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.
• You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don't know what's goin' on, I then got the money, and gone.
• I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.
• I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
• I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
• I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
• I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.
• I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
