It seems to me that unless you or someone very close to you has had a bad head injury, you really can't fathom it. You have no concept of what it is all about. It was so difficult for my whole family, not just me.

If we don't help each other, who will?

I believe if you ask any singer who was the greatest country music singer of all time, they would say 'George Jones'. He was without question and by far the BEST! I first met and worked with him when I was 13 years old; I am so very grateful that he was my friend.

That is the exciting thing: I don't know what God has given me for tomorrow.

And they just saw me on that and - from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East.

The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.

That's what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It's an exciting life.
