I didn't know how babies were made until I was pregnant with my fourth child.

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

When I first came to Nashville, people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels, and we ate when we could.

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

If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!

I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.

You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.
