I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.

I don't think of myself as a feminist, but if someone calls me a feminist icon, that's fine. I've always stood up for women and myself in general. I have a great love and respect, because I have had beautiful sisters, aunts and my grandmas, but I love men. I totally understand the nature of men.

I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.

There's a scripture that says, 'A merry heart doeth good like medicine.' I think that's true, too.

[On growing up in a large family with little money:] ... to take a bath ... we just had a pan of water and we'd wash down as far as possible, and we'd wash up as far as possible. Then, when somebody'd clear the room, we'd wash possible.

I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.

That's the great thing about a sense of humor and a sex drive, you can't wait to share it with everybody else.
