When I was a kid my Dad never let me sing Patsy Cline songs for one simple reason: they've already been done.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.

Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.

I don't think I was really addicted. I used it as a party tool.

I have an unending desire to be better and make myself a better person, better mother.

But the main thing is that medication, too, is not all the help.

At times when I didn't have records out, the press has really kept me out there. My bad reputation has done wonderful things for me!
