I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.

I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.

I don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.

I know it's corny - but I love 'Jingle Bells!'

I know my hair is out of the '60's, my clothes are '50's and the shoes I wear are from the '40's. But I like looking like I came out of a fairy tale.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'
