Whatever happened to the tomboy I used to be, the slightly rebellious rocker?
The word matters in country music, and it always has. And everybody had lived those words in country songs.
The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.
John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent.
I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.
I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.
I wasn't aware of it at the time, but I was a big favorite with the Mafia.
I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.
I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.
I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.
I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.
I had been singing since I was 3 years old, so my love of singing was always there.
I gave up my childhood for a career.
God has never disappointed me.
'I'm Sorry' was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.
I didn't really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.
I don't think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.
