Don't Judge Me By The

I Feel Fortunate That I've Had A Lot Of Songs Recorded By Other People, Because I Take My Songwriting Very Seriously. It's Only Those People That Have Followed Me Over The Years And Really Know My Work That Know How Serious I Am About All Of It - Including The Way I Look. You Can't Take My High Heels From Me, You Can't Have My Long Fingernails, You Can't Take All This Hair From Me, Because It's Part Of This Thing That I've Become. I Wouldn't Want To Give Any Of It Up. Do I Have To Be Ugly To Be A Songwriter? This Is The Way I Am, And It's What I Choose To Be.

Well, I Do Listen To God For Direction, But I Really Don't Have Time To Listen To Other Artists All That Much.

I Grew Up Around Lots Of Men - My Father, My Brothers, My Uncles - So I Wasn't Intimidated By Them.

I Still Close My Eyes And Go Home - I Can Always Draw From That.

The Way I See It, If You Want The Rainbow, You Gotta Put Up With The Rain. When I'm Inspired, I Get Excited Because I Can't Wait To See What I'll Come Up With Next. Find Out Who You Are And Do It On Purpose.
