I know it's corny - but I love 'Jingle Bells!'

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of.

People get a kick out of my stupidity.

People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.

I am confident that partnering my Dollywood Company with a great company like Gaylord will create something truly special.

I'm not a politician. And I don't want to be.
