I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.

I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.

There's a lot of women now with a whole lot of style but they are not necessarily song stylists. Some of their style is a lot like me and a lot of people sound a lot alike - you can't tell them apart.

You'll pay the highest price on back roads and in back seats and in a cheap highway motel. But what's a few more strangers in a life of nothing else.

I will never retire unless I have to.

When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.

Money ain't everything.
