Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

I never have changed in my taste, and the things that I love, and the way that I act, and all that. I never wanted to change, I just wanted to be successful, and be able to do more things for more people, and for myself as well.

I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.

I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals.

I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.

A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.
