They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.

I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.

I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!

I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.

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.'

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

The hardest exercise for most of us fat people is that one where we push our chairback from the dinner table.
