I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.
Anyone who knows or cares anything about real country music will agree that George Jones is the voice of it.
It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
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.
I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.
My music is so mine, it's hard to turn it over to someone else. I have to be really involved in the production. It's like someone else taking care of your kids - if they don't treat them well, you're going to be pissed off. I'm actually co-producing [Backwoods] with my guitar player of 20 years, Kent Wells. We make a good combination... I think we're going to have a real good record.
I think country music is popular - has been popular and will always be popular because I think a lot of real people singing about a lot of real stuff about real people. And it's simple enough for people to understand it. And we kind of roll with the punches.
A real important thing is that, though I rely on my husband for love, I rely on myself for strength.
Don't judge me by the cover, 'cause I'm a real good book.
I would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I've done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I've ever had come true - I am so proud of that I can't even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.
I'm not like a real person. I love being artificial. I think there's a little magic in the fact that I'm so totally real, but look so artificial at the same time.
One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.
My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart.
Cheating love is just as real as un-cheating love.
