I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.

I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.

The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.

I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.

I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.

I always loved reading. I always was the spelling bee champion. I always loved words. I always wanted to know what they meant, why you used them, who first said them. I was always interested in that.

Im Sorry was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.
