I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.

Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.

Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.

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.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.

I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.
