If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.

My best country record only sold 200,000 copies. I didn't have enough money for the band and the arrangements and the costumes and all. I had to move into wider fields.

I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.

I can write a song in about an hour if it's a simple country song.

When I'm feeling a little low, I put on my favorite high heels to stand a little taller.

I just love life. I love people. I love to write, that's my gift. I love to sing. I have a good attitude. I like to think I shine from the inside.

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