I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.

I just always knew I was going to be a star. I was always going to be rich so I could buy things for Mommy and Daddy, so that I could buy them a big house and we could have things.

I have a good attitude. And I was born with a happy heart. I'm always looking for things to be better.

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 look like a woman, but I think like a man.

George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.

I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.
