You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.
I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.
I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.
Mommy smoked but she didn't want us to. She saw smoke coming out of the barn one time, so we got whipped.
Because Olivia Newton-John wasn't from Nashville, they didn't like her winning our awards. I've got no complaints.
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.
A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.
I'd love to work more with the American Indians, my people.
I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due.
I know what it's like to be pregnant and nervous and poor.
I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.
Being on stage is the best part of my career. I just say whatever comes into my head. It's the only time I feel grown-up and in control of things.
Growing up in eastern Kentucky like I did, I'm used to having a few guns around to protect me.
