There’s a scripture that says, ‘A merry heart doeth good like medicine.’ I think that’s true, too.
There’s nothing like white trash at the White House.
People are always asking me in interviews, ‘What do you think of foreign affairs?’ I just say, ‘I’ve had a few.’
I never thought, in my lifetime, that you’d be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
I like to think I’ve been a good example and an inspiration to some people. And some people say that about me, but I’m just going about my work and doing what I do best. I’m a very professional ‘Me.’
When I get down, I don’t waller around for long.
When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, ‘God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!’
I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.
I’m pretty sure in my older years, I’ll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
I used to always sit in church looking out the windows at the boys, wondering if I could make an excuse to go out and, you know, go to the bathroom because all the outdoor toilets. But anyhow, I was only going out to see the boys.
I never have changed in my taste, and the things that I love, and the way that I act, and all that. I never wanted to change, I just wanted to be successful, and be able to do more things for more people, and for myself as well.
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
I’ve never been a feminist.
I’m just a friendly person; that runs in my family.
Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I’ve already had, my face pretty much maintains itself.
I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
When you’re 40, you can’t ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
People say I look so happy – and I say, ‘That’s the Botox.’
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.
A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.
