No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

I hope life treats you kind, and I hope you have all that you ever dreamed of, and I wish you joy and happiness. But above all of this, I wish you love.

'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.

I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.

It's great at this stage in my life to still be in the running, that people appreciate you.

When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.

My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.
