When I retired from my music November 1997, it had been 37 years.

The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.

That is the exciting thing: I don't know what God has given me for tomorrow.

If we don't help each other, who will?

That's what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It's an exciting life.

Married, but not to each other.

I was country when country wasn't cool.

And they just saw me on that and - from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East.

It's an exciting life. I don't know where God is leading us. I just know that He opens doors and He closes the doors, and it is always the best for us.

I just like doing silly girly things. If I wrap a gift, I like to use specials ribbon and hot glue, silk flowers and things.

I am loving being Momma. I really, really am.

Confidence is the greatest success.

No matter how many people care about you, she thought, if you can't be open with them about who you truly are, you're still alone.

Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.

I'm a fan of music from all over the world.

Whenever a new situation presented itself, you had to remain cool and distant

I'm a photographer and my pictures are used in advertising campaigns. But I don't do advertising. Do you hear me? I take pictures. I'm not an advertising agency. I'm not an advertising man.

That's the way I've been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don't have to think about them any more.
