Being on stage is the best part of my career. I just say whatever comes into my head. It's the only time I feel grown-up and in control of things.
Doolittle looked just like a little toy soldier the first time I ever saw him.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
When I lost my husband [Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn], I just didn't want to work so hard anymore. I hate that I didn't quit things a lot more before he was gone. I stayed home for six years to take care of him but, at some point, I also felt I had to go back to work.
Growing up in eastern Kentucky like I did, I'm used to having a few guns around to protect me.
I want more out of life than I've gotten.
I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
I try to visit people in hospitals when I can, smiling and joking while I'm there. But when I leave, I just start crying.
How do you measure your value?
You have to be different, great or first.
I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.
It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, "hey, goodbye!" and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.
