Sometimes you do get tired in the business from all the traveling. No one outside of the business realizes what we go through. ... Sometimes you don't mean to be unkind, but sometimes you're tired and do things you don't mean. I know the real fans understand.

I spent 15 minutes writing Stand By Your Man, and a lifetime defending it.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.

The sad part about happy endings is there's nothing to write about.

Loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me.

I always said that I'm not the best singer in the world, just the loudest.

Stand by your man. Give him two arms to cling to and something warm to come to.
