I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.

I want more out of life than I've gotten.

My life has run from misery to happiness.

There's never going to be another Patsy Cline. Without her, I don't think I would have lasted.

Why leave the nut you got for one you don't know?

You either have to be first, best, or different.
