"I'm not a hero. I'm just a woman who loves to sing. And I try to sing from my heart."

"My songs are like my children. I expect them to support me when I'm old."

"I'm just a woman, like any other woman. I've got my strengths and my weaknesses. But I'm trying to do my best."

"I'm not a lawyer. I'm a singer. And I try to speak truth to power."

"I'm not a savior. I'm a woman who's been saved. And I try to help others find their way."
