People ask me where I go to get away and I say, 'home'

To me, redneck is a sense of self and a way of life.

I got to where I couldn't listen to country radio. Country music is supposed to have steel and fiddle. When I hear country music, it should be country.

I just like Raisin Bran - it keeps me regular.

My daughter is a redneck woman, she's a redneck girl.

Good music is good music.

Mothers and daughters have that rivalry thing.

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah.

I don't know if I'll ever get used to hearing my name being mentioned alongside all these other legendary artists that have come before me.

Well I'm an eight ball shooting, double-fisted drinking son of a gun

I'm a mom first, a singer second.

Unhappy parents teach you a lesson that lasts a lifetime.

Celebrate people and love them even at their lowest point

For you to exist on earth, downplay on the religious factor.

Permit no man to make mockery of you just because you may not be proficient in something. Remember you are gifted no matter how insignificant it may be, it's your priced possession, value it

Don't confuse correlation and causation. Almost all great records eventually dwindle.

I'm sorry for croaking at you this evening. This is PM, I'm Eddie Mair: the walrus of news.

Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them.

I am taking the applause sign home, putting it in the bedroom.

By the time ordinary life asserted itself once more, I would feel I had already lived for a while in some other lifetime, that I had even taken over someone else's life.

I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.
