People make jokes about my bosoms, why don't they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It's obvious I've got big ones and if people want to assume they're not mine, then let them.

A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.

I sing as an actress. Whatever I'm singing about, I just become the story.

I hope life treats you kind, and I hope you have all that you ever dreamed of, and I wish you joy and happiness. But above all of this, I wish you love.

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.

Believe it or not, I was just given an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Tennessee.
