I always wanted to be loved.

Johnny Cash has only passed into the greater light. He will only become more important in this industry as time goes by.

I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.

Years ago when I first started being a big star I had fans that were fanatical. It was when "Jolene" was a big hit.

If people think I'm a dumb blonde, because of the way I look, then they're dumber than they think I am. If people think I'm not very deep because of my wigs and outfits, then they're not very deep.

I haven't stopped working since I was 10.

I'm very proud of all the bluegrass-oriented albums. It just reminded me and my fans that I should always record acoustic music and country records, along with anything else that I might want to do.
