Michael Phelps and Willie Nelson are teaming up to do an album. ... They're covering The Doobie Brothers.

Without God, I don't see how folks cope.

I've never turned my back on country music.

My mama is my best friend. We have fun, we can talk about anything, she always is on my side but really quick to tell me when I'm wrong. That's a true friend. She's loyal, smart, witty and intelligent. She loves family and loves to travel. All the things I love!

Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.

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