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.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

In fact, I bought our first family television with my own money, putting it on credit and then paying it off every week.

As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

I tried the Scarsdale diet and the Stillman water diet (you remember that one, where you run weight off trying to get to the bathroom).

I believe in my cosmetics line. There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn't it time someone helped the homely?
