I think I reach people because I'm with them, not apart from them.

I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.

Because Olivia Newton-John wasn't from Nashville, they didn't like her winning our awards. I've got no complaints.

My life has run from misery to happiness.

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

My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
