I think that I know the value of a dollar.

I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.

I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.

My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.

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

I know it's corny - but I love 'Jingle Bells!'
