I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.

I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.

I look like a woman, but I think like a man.

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
