I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.
I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.

I love being active.
I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.

There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
I don't like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone's life is different, and everyone's journey is different.
