I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.

My only expenses are probably guitar strings and records.

I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.

I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.

I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.

I keep things pretty simple.

I wear a lot of second hand clothes unless I have a concert and then I wear beaded and sequined second hand clothes. No stylist dresses me although I do have a woman that assists me with the buttons.

Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.

The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.

Life is so magical, mysterious, magnificent, and peaceful.

Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder.

To please God, live a godly life and nurture kindness, compassion, justice, and humility.

I believe the most important aspect of Medicare is not the structure of the program but the guarantee to all Americans that they will have high quality health care as they get older.

I wanted to be Marv Albert or Bob Costas. Those were my favorites growing up. Still are!

There are no unnatural or supernatural phenomenon, only very large gaps in our knowledge of what is natural... we should strive to fill those gaps of ignorance.

Life's a journey that goes round and round and the end is closest to the beginning.

I'm a woman who likes to be courted, strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring Is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

From the fall of October, 1980 to March, 1984 I never lost a competition.
