Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.

I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.

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