I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.

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

Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.

People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.

First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.

I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.

They think I’m simpleminded because I seem to be happy. Why shouldn’t I be happy? I have everything I ever wanted and more. Maybe I am simpleminded. Maybe that’s the key: simple.
