When I meet someone, I look at their eyes and their smile and seek out the good first - it's easy to find when you're looking for it. You let a person shine with their own light and try to connect it to yours. As soon as I say hello, I go right to that light and I don't care who you are! I know we're all pieces of the same thing - I go for that common light because I know it's in all of us.

I've never been a feminist.

Sevier County is a great area.

I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.

I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.

Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.

I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
