I was very honored to get to be part of 'American Idol.'

I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.

I was always a junk food person, still am.

There's a lot of rednecks in the country where I grew up.

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.

The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.

I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.
