I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.

After Momma gave birth to twelve of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.

When I'm feeling a little low, I put on my favorite high heels to stand a little taller.

I think everyone should be with who they love.

I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'

I like to buy clothes that are two sizes too small and then take them in a little.

A lot of my own relatives didn't get to go to school because we were mountain people. You have to get out and work and help feed the family. My own dad couldn't read and write. And my dad was very proud of me.
