I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

I would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I've done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I've ever had come true - I am so proud of that I can't even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.

Everything is nothing when you got no one.

I'm not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.

I'd love to do a duet, always wanted to work with Madonna, but she never asked.

Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.
