Whenever I drink champagne I either laugh or cry...I get so emotional! I love champagne.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

I don't want to be dragging myself on stage, year in year out, until someone else tells me it is time to go. There are certain birthdays that make you revalue your life

What is love but a second-hand emotion?

So when it came to role models, I looked at presidents' wives. Of course, you're talking about a farm girl who stood in the fields, dreaming, years ago, wishing she was that kind of person. But if I had been that kind of person, do you think I could sing with the emotions I do? You sing with those emotions because you've had pain in your heart.

I'm self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream - to have class.

I know the difference between black magic and white magic.
