I can't be all things to everyone.

I used to get stressed out, but my cancer has put everything into perspective.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

I like to go into a little shell and be a hermit and make music for a while.

I'd just love magic. I'd love to be able to just click and transport. I'd be like a fairy little godmother, I think, going round hearing what people wish for and seeing what I could do for them.

I believe the impossible is possible to overcome I believe in miracles Born from love in everyone

Life is a journey I don't have a map for.

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.

I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.

Only by creating out of love will one achieve true greatness.

You can tell a really wonderful quote by the fact that it's attributed to a whole raft of wits.

TV is a very sensitive thing. If you're not happy with what you're doing, I don't think you should do it because you will do it for awhile.

In the past, there's always been one leader that has led the pack to development of the music.

Mary is a very well-written typical eldest child in that she puts her own needs at the forefront... She's not as inclined to conciliate or placate. Cora is fascinated by Mary

It is my absolute intent to hold the line on taxes.

What have I got better than anyone? Age.

I do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.

Life is all business.

I don't do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.
