I'm a massive 'Seinfeld' freak, and growing up, I always wanted to be Elaine - but I think everybody has a little bit of George in them, even if nobody wants to admit it.

A lot of times when I play a show, I'm the only girl on the bill. We're a minority, for sure.

I know so many girls that have felt like they've been taken advantage of. Not only in the music business, but in every single career out there.

When there's not much to do, you find things to do that get you in trouble.

In the South, there was absence of any leadership corresponding in breadth and courage to that of Abraham Lincoln.

The secret lives of politicians are always shady. People need to accept the fact that their leaders aren't perfect. No one is.

I am involved in a lot of nonprofits. And when I reached the ripe old age of 60, I wanted to provide leadership to some I had been involved in.

I've never worried about payback. People are hungry for leadership that's not afraid of political consequence.
