I have always been the life of the party. When I got to the point where I wasn't anymore, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what it was. Once you figure it out, you can start to fix the problem. It's a day-to-day struggle.

That's the era we grew up in. It's weak to go to a psychiatrist.

I'd like to do a Christmas album. I've never done a Christmas album.

You can run for cover, you can run for help. You can run to your lover, but you can't ever run from yourself.

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

It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.

And as long as people want to hear me sing, I don't know why I'd retire.
