My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.

Energy begets energy.

My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.

Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.

I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says "Hi, Aunt Dolly." Or "Are you Aunt Dolly?" I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.

I think that I know the value of a dollar.
