I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought 'Geez this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money and I liked singing but it was just something that was a hobby.

My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.

I never liked apples. In fact when I was a little girl my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre... It's funny - I don't have an apple a day but I can say that I have a few a week.

From the very start of all of this my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.

If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up I liked Dr. Seuss.

My mom God rest her soul - she liked nicknames. In the womb she named me Skip. There was another black guy in Piedmont W.Va. and his name was Skip. They called him Big Skip and I was Little Skip.

My mom decorated with lots of antiques. I never liked it when I was a little girl - I wanted to live in a modern house. But now I love it.

There is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it never care for anything else thereafter.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.
