I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.
I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.
The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.
I had been singing since I was 3 years old, so my love of singing was always there.
I gave up my childhood for a career.
I'm sorry if I took some things for granted, I'm sorry for the chains I put on you. But more than anything, I'm sorry for myself for living without you.
