Everybody has a purpose.

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold.

My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.

I always think of myself as a working girl.

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

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.
