All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.
'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.
If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.
I think god gave us talent because he screwed up our hair
A tree reaches below the surface to gather strength for stargazing.
You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.
A real important thing is that, though I rely on my husband for love, I rely on myself for strength.
Years ago, when I first started being a big star, I had fans that were fanatical. It was when 'Jolene' was a big hit.
I like to think I've been a good example and an inspiration to some people. And some people say that about me, but I'm just going about my work and doing what I do best. I'm a very professional 'Me.'
Some guys look better as they get older.
When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.
Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
People just relate to me. They know I'm a regular person brought up in a hardworking, poor family, that I've had all the struggles that people have. I'm just a friendly person. And I hopefully have a good sense of humor. People get a kick out of my stupidity.
I'm the kind of person who would rather rock in my rocking chair when I'm old and regret a few things that I did than to sit there and regret that I never tried..
