Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.

Watch what you say and do because little eyes are watching you.

Mama is funny. She has a great sense of humor and loves a good joke. Loves a practical joke, too.

When I left, after my divorce, when I left Oklahoma, I never looked back. It was the future. It was looking forward from then on.

I always wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a movie star.

I just feel like the people who are discouraged about religion, it's [really] the connotation of people that go to church. People that go to church love the Lord and they like to be around people who love the Lord. It's a fellowship and it's a growth and it's a feeding for them that when they're in a social group of people who believe, it makes them grow spiritually.

Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.
