God has never disappointed me.

I gave up my childhood for a career.

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent.

I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.

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.

I dont think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.

I don't think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.

I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.

I wasn't aware of it at the time, but I was a big favorite with the Mafia.

Im Sorry was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.

Whatever happened to the tomboy I used to be, the slightly rebellious rocker?

I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

'I'm Sorry' was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.

Brother, if you want to get the lowdown, Come along and let's all have a hoedown.

I had been singing since I was 3 years old, so my love of singing was always there.

I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.

A lot of people thought I'd died, because of your coverage, they know I'm still around.

I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.

The word matters in country music, and it always has. And everybody had lived those words in country songs.

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 always felt that I was one of the women who helped lay the foundation for rock and roll. But I'd always been overlooked by the Hall of Fame.

When 'I'm Sorry' came out and became such a huge hit, that made 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' start selling. Then that became a huge, huge hit.

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.

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted, I'm sorry for the chains I put on you. But more than anything, I'm sorry for myself for living without you.

I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.

I've always gone to see all kinds of shows and stole what I could, as we all do. We see an artist and hear a song and think, 'I bet I could sing that song. I'll put that in my show.'

I always loved reading. I always was the spelling bee champion. I always loved words. I always wanted to know what they meant, why you used them, who first said them. I was always interested in that.
