Islands in the streams, that is what we are.
I’m just a simple country girl.
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.
I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it’s like a battery: you’ve got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
I’m not happy all the time, and I wouldn’t want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.
I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.
I have surrounded myself with very smart people.
I’m not trying to be fashionable. Never was!
They let you dream just to watch them shatter, you’re just a step on the boss man’s ladder.
I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
Daddy worked for God, but asked for no pay. For he believed that God provides a way.
I’m no angel if that’s what you thought you found. I was just the victim of a man that let me down.
I may look fake but I’m real where it counts.
We’re afraid to live, because we’re afraid of dying.
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
I was always a junk food person, still am.
My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.
I’ve been very fortunate.
