I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.

The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.

I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.

We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.

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

Nobody's perfect. The only one that ever was, was crucified.

I've seen country music go uptown, like we say, and I'm proud I was there when it happened.
