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'm not happy all the time, and I wouldn't want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.

I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.

I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.

I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
