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.

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

You have to be the first, best or different.

Do the best you can with yourself and hope for the best.

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

We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.

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