Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought "Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again." I've got thousands of songs.

People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.

I think that I'm perfect.

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

Unless you have spent your life doing something, you are not likely to be successful, so always partner with people who are smarter than you.

I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.
