I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.

Kitty Wells was the first and only Queen of Country Music, no matter what they call the rest of us. She was a great inspiration to me as well as every other female singer in the country music business. In addition to being a wonderful asset to country music, she was a wonderful woman. We will always remember her fondly.

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.

First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.

I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.

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.

I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
