I often get myself in love trouble because I'm so passionate; I love so much and so deep.

A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.

Kitty Wells was the first and only Queen of Country Music, no matter what they call the rest of us. She was a great inspiration to me as well as every other female singer in the country music business. In addition to being a wonderful asset to country music, she was a wonderful woman. We will always remember her fondly.

I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.

I just love life. I love people. I love to write, that's my gift. I love to sing. I have a good attitude. I like to think I shine from the inside.

Sometimes, you see folks who have a negative view of dreamers - people who sit around all day on their hindquarters and do absolutely nothing. These folks aren't dreamers - they are just lazy. To me, dreaming is just part of being alive, inspired, and curious about the world.

I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.
