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.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.

I'll be wearing my high heels, even if I'm up to my knees in mud

I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.

There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.

I'm just a person; I like to experience whatever the feeling is and whatever I'm going through.

My husband said 'show me your boobs' and I had to pull up my skirt... so it was time to get them done!
