I'm a proud person. I'm not vain. I look at it like it is. If you've got the money and you're going to be out there, you owe it to people not to look like a dog if you can help it.

George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.

I'm a fool to keep staying, when you've made hurting me such an art.

Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.

I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.

I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
