Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.

People think I'm as shallow and superficial as I look, and it's a surprise when they find out, sure enough, I am.

I've been guilty of most of the stuff that's been said about me to some degree. And if I ain't done it, I probably will.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.

I love story songs because I've always loved books.

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.'

There's nothing like white trash at the White House.
