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.

I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.

I have been asked to pose for Penthouse on my hundredth birthday. Everybody is going to be sorry.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

I have just one tube of lipstick, but it's as big as a can of hairspray.

I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
