I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it’s still a good barn.

I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!

I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I’m so fair.

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn’t even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
