I write what I write, say what I say, 'cause I feel what I feel, and if I did it different, it would make me a liar! So I'd rather be an honest person than a good liar.
You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
I've never let a rhinestone go unturned
After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.
I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!
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.'
