I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
I try not to go around looking like a hag.
I used to sing songs and write with my uncle, Bill Owens.
I was very honored to get to be part of 'American Idol.'
I will never retire unless I have to.
I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.
I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.
I'll never graduate from collagen.
My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.
I'm a showgirl, as you can tell. I'm ever ready.
I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
