I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

I dont think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.

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

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

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.

I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
