Mama is funny. She has a great sense of humor and loves a good joke. Loves a practical joke, too.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.

Being a strong woman is very important to me. But doing it all on my own is not.

I have talked to Debbie Hammond quite a bit, Jim Hammond's wife, his widow. I've seen their kids. And last time we played Dallas, a lot of them came over. It's hard for them to come see the show. It's still hard.

Easter is very important to me, it's a second chance.

I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.

And I was mischievous. I was always into something. So when I got good attention from the singing, I knew that was probably where I needed to land.
