I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that.
I wanted to be the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the fire department four days to put it out.

I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.
I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.
I'm not offended by dumb blonde jokes because I know that I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde.
I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.
If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.
If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.
Leave something good in every day.
My aunt in Knoxville would bring newspapers up, which we used for toilet paper. Before we used it, we'd look at the pictures.
My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.
People make jokes about my bosoms, why don't they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It's obvious I've got big ones and if people want to assume they're not mine, then let them.
Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.
Storms make trees take deeper roots.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!
You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
