I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.

I had someone correct my grammar once on a blind date, and within the first 10 minutes the date was over. You just don't correct somebody's grammar. That's just not okay. I'm from Tennessee, so I probably say everything wrong. I might have said ain't, or something like that.

But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I don't know what I would have done so many times in my life if I hadn't had my girlfriends.
