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

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!

The more people told me that, you know, wow, you should be so blessed. Dont you feel blessed? And you have all this - mansion and all these beautiful things. And I said, you know - the more they told me that, the more depressed I got.

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

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.

I do enjoy making videos, even though they are long days and very hard work.

Words are not even within me. They're not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.
