I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.

I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.

God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.

I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

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.'

I think everyone should be with who they love.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
