Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.

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

With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.

Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.

All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.

I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I'm in public, at Dollywood. People say, 'How many wigs do you have?' And I say, 'Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.'

My aunt in Knoxville would bring newspapers up, which we used for toilet paper. Before we used it, we'd look at the pictures.
