I don't think I'm a great actress. I think I can act or I can react. Coming from a musical background and being a dramatic singer and writer, when I write stuff I really feel it. So I sing it like it comes from here. That's how I do the acting.
Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.
I look like a woman, but I think like a man.
I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'
Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating? Oh, but why he lets us feel things, if it's wrong.
Here you come again, looking better than a body has a right to.
I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold.
I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
Got those moods a swinging, tears a slinging, nothing fits me, when it hits me, ranting, raving, misbehaving, PMS blues.
No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
There's a lot of women now with a whole lot of style but they are not necessarily song stylists. Some of their style is a lot like me and a lot of people sound a lot alike - you can't tell them apart.
