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

Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.

There's a scripture that says, 'A merry heart doeth good like medicine.' I think that's true, too.

I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information; I was a curious kid. I still am.

I used to try to write a song a day. I've been so busy lately.

I know when something ain't right, and I know exactly what I will or won't tolerate.

I just always knew I was going to be a star. I was always going to be rich so I could buy things for Mommy and Daddy, so that I could buy them a big house and we could have things.
