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

My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.

I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'

I do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.

When I meet someone, I look at their eyes and their smile and seek out the good first - it's easy to find when you're looking for it. You let a person shine with their own light and try to connect it to yours. As soon as I say hello, I go right to that light and I don't care who you are! I know we're all pieces of the same thing - I go for that common light because I know it's in all of us.

Sevier County is a great area.
