I have a life outside the arenas.

I ain't never far away from a pencil and paper or a tape recorder.

When you come from where I come from, if anyone in the family makes it out, the others kind of come with you.

I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

When its family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for.
