To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

No one is ever successful at everything that they do.

Cause I am strong and I can prove it And I got my dreams to see me through It's just a mountain, I can move it And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do And I can see the light of a clear blue morning And I can see the light of brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay [lyrics from "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"]

I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.

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.

Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.
