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.

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.

There's a lot of power in putting it out in the universe. It's telling your subconscious mind, 'This is what's gonna happen.'

If dreams give you power, then I'm strong enough to walk through my heart till you love me.

Get as much out of life as you possibly can with all the passion that goes with it. Then give it back with all the love and respect it deserves.

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

Waiting makes me restless. When I'm ready, I'm ready.
