I'm happy when I'm doing what I do best.

I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.

But when I record my next studio album, of course I'll do the lead vocals.

I'm not much of a club goer because every time I do go I get in trouble.

I've got a great place, it's a country house.

Stiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe.

You're stuck in front of the microphone. You can't use your hands. I like to do things.

I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time.

I don't smoke, so they never sent me a copy.

I have no skanky guys in my band nor on my bus. If they are they get the boot real quick.

It's nice when they say I inspire them, it inspires me.

Life has become serious for me, although I do like to party every now and then.

But duets are a lot of fun, I'd love to do another one.

It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen some very excellent women musicians.

We don't have a lot of neighbors so we can blast the stereo.

You can never learn it all and I hope to continue my growth as a person and a musician.

I have a lot of female fans.

I worked at the cosmetic counter at a fine department store.

Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Pa did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid.

How to teach people to do what hasn't been done is a great riddle.

I was born in my parents' bedroom on January 16. The World Almanac says it was 1909. I say it was 1912. But what difference does it make as long as I feel 33?

If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way.

Growing up with Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek - people who were always trying to do something else - I wanted to follow in their footsteps. They gave people a different perspective of how women were supposed to look like and be.

Rather than negotiating yet another continuing resolution at the last minute, the appropriations process should work as it was originally designed, with appropriations bills passing the House and the Senate and being signed into law by the president, after robust debate, with a process for amendments.
