Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

If I see something sagging, dragging and bagging, I’ll get it nip, tucked, sucked or plucked.

Kitty Wells was the first and only Queen of Country Music, no matter what they call the rest of us. She was a great inspiration to me as well as every other female singer in the country music business. In addition to being a wonderful asset to country music, she was a wonderful woman. We will always remember her fondly.

God is in everything I do and all my work glorifies Him.

Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
