I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.

I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.

I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
