I Come From A Family

Storms Make Trees Take Deeper Roots.

Everywhere I Go, The Kids Call Me 'the Book Lady.' The Older I Get, The More Appreciative I Seem To Be Of The 'book Lady' Title. It Makes Me Feel More Like A Legitimate Person, Not Just A Singer Or An Entertainer. But It Makes Me Feel Like I've Done Something Good With My Life And With My Success.

I Don't Have Anything To Say About Other People's Art And Their Work.

I'll Bring My Grits When I Travel, Because I Get So Hungry On The Road.

I Try Not To Go Around Looking Like A Hag.
