Music is my personal addiction. So much of everything I've done has only been to open more doors for the music itself. It all gets back to the fact that I am, first of all, a songwriter and a singer.

George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.

I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'

It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.

You can't just wish to be a millionaire; you have to figure out how to earn it.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
