Whenever a natural disaster occurs, it is always the Red Cross that responds quickly and compassionately. I am honored to lend my voice to their cause, and thrilled to serve on the Celebrity Cabinet for 2010.

I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.

I had lots of breaks. I guess the one that got my foot in the door was singing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City in '74.

I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.

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

I think my song that reminds me of Mama is "I'm A Survivor" because she is one.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
