I have a good attitude. And I was born with a happy heart. I'm always looking for things to be better.

I think that all creative people are a little bit nuts.

It's always great to perform at home in the good ol' U.S.A.

The tits and the hair and the personality helped build the whole Dolly deal, but it was my music that brought me out of the Smokey Mountains.

A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.

I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. It was a Dream that dressed me up when I was ragged, and it was a Dream that filled me up when I was hungry. Now it's my Dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in America, the most bountiful country in the world. We can do better...we must!

Sometimes a song just has to cater to whatever's goin' on. A well-written song is a song that stays true to the subject.
