You know, I did not like being famous. It was a stressful and ugly time, and I'm glad it's over.

To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.

I'd probably be famous now if I wasn't such a good waitress.

The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now, whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers, I would have got into a whole load of trouble.

I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.
