I think there is a little magic in the fact that I'm so totally real but look so artificial at the same time.
I don't like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone's life is different, and everyone's journey is different.
When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn't really know what all that meant. I didn't know.
'Jolene' has been very popular all of these years, even overseas.
I walk tall; I got a tall attitude.
I have suffered most of the things I write about - or my friends have.
I had to get rich so I could sing like I was poor again.
That little Miley Cyrus... she's like a little Elvis. The kids love her because she's Hannah Montana, but what people don't realize about her is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she's 40 years old!
People don't realize that we, we meaning people in show business, have the same problems as everyone else. Money doesn't change that. Fame doesn't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a different kind of problems.
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
