We're all God's children.

When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.

Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent.

I always think of myself as a working girl.

I think that I'm perfect.

I know the struggles of poor people, and have always kept that with me.

Kitty Wells was the first and only Queen of Country Music, no matter what they call the rest of us. She was a great inspiration to me as well as every other female singer in the country music business. In addition to being a wonderful asset to country music, she was a wonderful woman. We will always remember her fondly.
