I'm not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and I'm still in the thinking stage.

I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.

Im gonna be something one of these days.

If you can't do it with feeling, don't.

Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain't as big as the Grand Ole Opry.

I recorded a song called, I Fall to Pieces, and I was in a car wreck. Now I'm worried because I have a brand-new record, and it's called Crazy!

I'm having surgery today to have my face cleaned up. But it will take some fancy stitching to make me all beautiful again!

I played with Arthur Godfrey for about a year and a half.

I didn't know there was so many people in this world that knew of me.

I can't miss a night's work and let my public down.

I'd like to do my first record I ever made, A Church, a Courtroom, and Then Goodbye.

On Saturdays I worked all day in Hunter Gaunt's drugstore in Winchester, and then at night, my mother drove me to Front Royal, where I sang pop tunes.
-
I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.
-
I'm at that point again where it don't matter where he is to me anymore.
-
Jesus has been in my room. He has taken my hand and told me, No, Not now. I have other things for you to do.
-
I wish to be put away in a western dress I designed, with my daughter's little gold cross necklace and my son's small white testament in my hands, and my wedding band on.
-
Oh, I just sing like I hurt inside.

Mother would come and pick me up at work and take me wherever I could get a job. Mother didn't trust anybody with me. Usually we'd get home at 3 in the morning.
