People just relate to me. They know I'm a regular person brought up in a hardworking, poor family, that I've had all the struggles that people have. I'm just a friendly person. And I hopefully have a good sense of humor. People get a kick out of my stupidity.

I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.

I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.

I always loved that old song Banks of the Ohio - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

I'll never harden my heart but I've toughened the muscles around it.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.
