I sing as an actress. Whatever I'm singing about, I just become the story.
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
My husband calls me 'catfish.' He says I'm all mouth and no brains.
I've been very fortunate.
I don't think of myself as a feminist, but if someone calls me a feminist icon, that's fine. I've always stood up for women and myself in general. I have a great love and respect, because I have had beautiful sisters, aunts and my grandmas, but I love men. I totally understand the nature of men.
My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.
I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.
I was always a junk food person, still am.
My mistakes are no worse than yours.
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.
I'm not a politician. And I don't want to be.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
Kenneth Hari is a true artist and in my opinion a psychic. When he is painting you, he feels your heart and soul.
