Any Business You Go Into,

I Couldn't Have Children, I Tried To For Years. I've Never Been Pregnant In My Life. When I Was A Girl And Fooling Around I Was Scared To Death I'd Get Pregnant, And Then When I Got Married And Wanted To Have Children I Couldn't Have Any. But I Don't Miss It. I Did For Awhile, But I Realize That I Am Everybody's Mother.

Songwriting Is My Way Of Channeling My Feelings And My Thoughts. Not Just Mine, But The Things I See, The People I Care About. My Head Would Explode If I Didn't Get Some Of That Stuff Out.

Having A Big Gay Following, I Get Hate Mail And Threats. Some People Are Blind Or Ignorant, And You Can't Be That Prejudiced And Hateful And Go Through This World And Still Be Happy.

Until I Was A Teenager, I Used Red Pokeberries For Lipstick And A Burnt Matchstick For Eyeliner. I Used Honeysuckle For Perfume.

I Never Want Anything More Than What's Fair. The Problem Is, I Never Want Anything Less Either. In The Old-boy School Of Business, If A Woman Walks Away From The Table With What's Rightfully Hers, The Man Feels Screwed.
