Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.

My husband says I look like a Q-tip.

I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.
