I Met My Husband Before I Became

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.

I Know Who I Am, I Know What I Can And Can't Do. I Know What I Will And Won't Do. I Know What I'm Capable Of And I Don't Agree To Do Things That I Don't Think I Can Pull Off.

A Lot Of People Have Said I'd Have Probably Done Better In My Career If I Hadn't Looked So Cheap And Gaudy. But I Dress To Be Comfortable For Me, And You Shouldn't Be Blamed Because You Want To Look Pretty.

My Music Is So Mine, It's Hard To Turn It Over To Someone Else. I Have To Be Really Involved In The Production. It's Like Someone Else Taking Care Of Your Kids - If They Don't Treat Them Well, You're Going To Be Pissed Off. I'm Actually Co-producing [backwoods] With My Guitar Player Of 20 Years, Kent Wells. We Make A Good Combination... I Think We're Going To Have A Real Good Record.

I've Always Loved The Fans In Scotland And Have A Little Scottish Blood Of My Own.
