I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information; I was a curious kid. I still am.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

Dreams are of no value if they don't have wings and feet.

I am confident that partnering my Dollywood Company with a great company like Gaylord will create something truly special.

That's the great thing about a sense of humor and a sex drive, you can't wait to share it with everybody else.

A real important thing is that, though I rely on my husband for love, I rely on myself for strength.

I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
