When I stopped performing for 16 years and lived in Michigan and was married and raising my children, I wrote about four or five books. I haven't published them. I just haven't gotten around to it for several reasons.
Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.
I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.
I was so unhealthy as a child, and at least three or four times my parents were told to get ready, that I would not make it.
I always enjoyed doing transgender songs.
I liked being on stage; I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.
