I've done gospel singing. I have a gospel album and country album.

I would think that other people could see if you had other talents. I grew and expanded from the Elly May role. I was doing real estate and personal appearances and kept my foot in the door.

I speak for a lot of church groups, youth groups, schools, colleges and do personal appearances. I've done conventions and trade shows. A lot of different little hats.

I really love pets. They're like children. They know if you really love them or not. You can't fool them.

Whatever God would want me to do... love each other and help others. I want to add, not take away.

Today you can't go by the titles of the shows to know what the content of the show may be.

Love is the stimulation for the creation. If there is no love, there is no humanity.

I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don't know, therefore I'm open. I don't know, therefore I'm interested.

I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.

It is not the same thing to be good and to be kind.

Today I felt pass over me A breath of wind from the wings of madness.

At any one time language is a kaleidoscope of styles, genres and dialects.

I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is - my point is, there's a strong will for democracy.

Not feeling broody, as such. Just happy to see my sister have such a beautiful kid.

You can drift into sin, but not into righteousness.

Great is the rose Infected by the tomb, Yet burgeoning Indifferent to death.
