A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.

I know what it's like to be pregnant and nervous and poor.

I refuse to be pushed around anymore.

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

I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.

I'm trying to lead a good Christian life, so there ain't too much spicy to tell about me.

When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
