My mother always wanted me to be a jazz singer, but I always wanted to be raunchy.

I was a sloppy kid, wanted to be just wild.

I figured I could do "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" because I believe it's the truth.

Now I can stand up on the stage again like I used to after five years of sitting down while I sang.

Once you lose the weight, you're really anxious to eat healthy.

I am so happy that I am alive and can walk.

Country music has the great stories.
