I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.

If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.

Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.
