I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.

A lot of my own relatives didn't get to go to school because we were mountain people. You have to get out and work and help feed the family. My own dad couldn't read and write. And my dad was very proud of me.

I love watching keep-fit videos while munching chocolate chip cookies.

I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

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.

I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.

I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
