Less is not more. More is more.
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
All these fine Christian-type people that seem to think they know what God wants for all of us, that's certainly more of a sin then anything they would claim about us. To judge people is one of the greatest sins.
Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent.
The tits and the hair and the personality helped build the whole Dolly deal, but it was my music that brought me out of the Smokey Mountains.
...everyone's life is different, and everyone's journey is different.
When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. If he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, he is looking for wisdom. But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he's looking for another man.
The bible says, 'All things are possible.' I believe that.
I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
Anyone who knows or cares anything about real country music will agree that George Jones is the voice of it.
If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.
It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
