I've Been Very Fortunate.

I Write A Little Something Every Day, Even Though I Don't Write A Song [every Day]. Everything Inspires Me. I'll Come Up With A Line, Or Somebody Will Say Something That Will Trigger Something.

When You Come From Where I Come From, If Anyone In The Family Makes It Out, The Others Kind Of Come With You.

I'm Not Like A Real Person. I Love Being Artificial. I Think There's A Little Magic In The Fact That I'm So Totally Real, But Look So Artificial At The Same Time.

I Like To Think I've Been A Good Example And An Inspiration To Some People. And Some People Say That About Me, But I'm Just Going About My Work And Doing What I Do Best. I'm A Very Professional 'me.'

I Don't Keep Up With A Lot Of Trends. I've Never Been A Fashion Horse. I'm So Busy Writing My Songs, Trying To Maintain My Business, And All The New Things That Come Along. I Stay Working All The Time.
