I don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out - they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
A lot of people think I'm a comedian.
Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.
Energy begets energy.
I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
I love Velveeta cheese.
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.
When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, 'God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!'
When I get down, I don't waller around for long.
