Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent.
The tits and the hair and the personality helped build the whole Dolly deal, but it was my music that brought me out of the Smokey Mountains.
...everyone's life is different, and everyone's journey is different.
When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. If he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, he is looking for wisdom. But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he's looking for another man.
The bible says, 'All things are possible.' I believe that.
I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
Anyone who knows or cares anything about real country music will agree that George Jones is the voice of it.
If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.
It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
That's the great thing about a sense of humor and a sex drive, you can't wait to share it with everybody else.
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
People think I'm as shallow and superficial as I look, and it's a surprise when they find out, sure enough, I am.
I bought all those [fitness] videos -- Richard Simmons, Jane Fonda. I love to sit and eat cookies and watch 'em.
People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.
