When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.

It was never a marketing tool. People say that, but I dress this way for the same reasons I did when I first started doing it. It still comes from a serious place inside of me. I get up in the morning, and I think I just look better a certain way I do my makeup. I want to shine, I want to glitter. I'm not getting up thinking, "Oh, this'll get 'em." And I'm not doing it to make a statement. I'm just doing it to look like Dolly - the Dolly that I know and the Dolly that you know.

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.

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

Well, I do listen to God for direction, but I really don't have time to listen to other artists all that much.

We could afford the price of peace. Love is all it costs.

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.
