I traveled all over the South looking for factories - to keep production in the South. I wanted to give back to the place and people that raised me.

Men rise through the ranks because of potential, but women have to prove themselves - while trying to have children and having no family leave.

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

My rule is, if it's not moving-monogram it!

There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it.

I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.

And I think Taylor Swift is just an exemplary young lady. It's kind of interesting to see what a profound songwriter she is. I don't even think anyone has realized, the long term is going to be the bigger revelation. It's incredible how quickly she writes songs. We've hung out a couple times, we live near each other in Nashville.
