  "I’ve climbed over 100 mountains. For some reason, I just like to get on top of things."
  "Why do you think that is?"

The older generation can still listen, but many of the youngsters can’t even look you in the eye while you speak.

She had some offers, but she said she wasn’t going to accept anything less than $35,000. That was a lot of money back in 1996. So I kept telling her: ‘Don’t be greedy. You don’t have any experience yet. Start small and work up.’ But she wouldn’t budge. And of course, she ended up getting exactly what she wanted."

  "I’ve been making music my whole life, but I have the hardest time selling myself. And selling yourself is necessary if you want to be a successful artist.

So after I met my husband, I fought marriage for the longest time. But we got married in September.
