- "I don't really like to sing things that I wouldn't say. If I sing it, I would more than likely say it." (quoted during release of her 2005 CD, "I've Got My Own Hell to Raise')
- No one can give me songs, it's like giving me a lover. I become deeply meshed within these songs when I start to work on them.
- [on the resurgence in her career, 2013] I refuse to call it a revival or a resurrection. I never stopped working. I always call it 'the coming out of the crypt' because I was in a deep dark hole, working for fifty dollars. Regular things that happened to artists didn't happen to me. The record company didn't steal my money. I didn't get strung out on drugs. I didn't join a church. My husband didn't make me not sing. It's been all kinds of deep shit.
