Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.

If you're happy, you've got the Lord on your side.

My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

Easter is very important to me, it's a second chance.

To me, there's two types of songs, good and bad. And I just like to stick with the good ones.

I always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled.

I have a lot to be thankful for. I am healthy, happy and I am loved.
