It's always great to perform at home in the good ol' U.S.A.

I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.

In fact, I bought our first family television with my own money, putting it on credit and then paying it off every week.

I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says "Hi, Aunt Dolly." Or "Are you Aunt Dolly?" I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.

I used to sing songs and write with my uncle, Bill Owens.

I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!

We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
