I'm Not That Beautiful, And I Don't

Part Of The Reason I Had Such A Drive To Be An Activist, And Support Other Activists, Is Because I Was Raised Quaker And My Parents Kept Us Very Much Informed And Involved As Kids In Civil Rights And The Conservation Movement.

I Hope I'm An Integrous Person Who Cleans Up Their Messes When I've Been A Jerk.

I'm Not That Beautiful, And I Don't Want To Be A Pop Star.

I Was Offered To Take Over For Reba In 'annie Get Your Gun,' But It Wasn't Where I Wanted To Be. I Think My Fans Would Be Upset If I Confined My Shows To One City For A Long Period Of Time.

I'm Certain That It Was An Incredible Gift For Me To Not Only Be Friends With Some Of The Greatest Blues People Who've Ever Lived, But To Learn How They Played, How They Sang, How They Lived Their Lives, Ran Their Marriages, And Talked To Their Kids.
