Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.

My songs are like my children -- I expect them to support me when I'm old.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.

With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.

When people say to me less is more I reply, 'More is more'.

I always think of myself as a working girl.

And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies.

There's nothing like white trash at the White House.

I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.

I don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out -- they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.

Is forever longer than always?

All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

Sometimes I like to run naked in the moonlight and the wind, on a little trail behind our house, when the honeysuckle blooms. It's a feeling of freedom, so close to God and nature.

I hope you're never happy with anybody but me, and every face you look into, I hope you're haunted by me. Yes, I'm possessive and jealous, at least I speak honestly.

I can write a song in about an hour if it's a simple country song.

No one could have been nicer, classier nor better looking than Dick Clark. I've had a crush on him since I was a teenager.

I've... been accused of being involved with every man I'm ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain't. I never tell if I have.

I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.
