A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.

I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.

With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.

I have a big gay and lesbian following and they've been very loyal and kind to me.

I've... been accused of being involved with every man I'm ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain't. I never tell if I have.

I have a life outside the arenas.
