Years ago when I first started being a big star I had fans that were fanatical. It was when "Jolene" was a big hit.

I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.

I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.

Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.

I'm one of those people that if its something to eat I'm going to eat the whole thing, If I'm going to be in love I'm going to love you all the way and if my heart's broken, it's just shattered all to pieces.

I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
