Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.
Wildflowers don't care where they grow.
A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.
I'll oil wells love you. I'll oil wells care. I'll oil wells need you. I want you oil wells dear.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
There was a circle of friends, and a circle of performers, and a circle of love at the old place.
I used to feel so proud to be there with what I thought at the time were where the legends and heroes has stood and had sung. And I've been in the business so long, I've almost become one of them. So it's like I'm standing in my own footsteps.
I've always admired Sir Elton's songwriting, musicianship and singing and I'm thrilled to be working with him,
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
Well, it's always fun, this movie, what it's done. It's just amazing to me that it's 25 years old, and how long it's lasted, and the fact that it had a good message then, it has a good message now.
My best country record only sold 200,000 copies.
