I try to visit people in hospitals when I can, smiling and joking while I'm there. But when I leave, I just start crying.

I never rode in an automobile until I was 12.

A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.

My life has run from misery to happiness.

I believe in education and wish I had a better one.

When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.

I was married when I wasn't quite 14 and had four babies by the time I was 18.
