I never rode in an automobile until I was 12.

I'd love to work more with the American Indians, my people.

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.

If I had a chance to do things over again, I might not start singing. It was my husband Doolittle's idea. He pushed me out there, the booger. And I'm out there now, so I might as well make the best of it.

Doolittle looked just like a little toy soldier the first time I ever saw him.

My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

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