Dolly paved such a great freeway for women. So did Loretta, Tammy and Barbara Mandrell. I’ve got to keep pavin’ that freeway for the gals in country music. Maybe it gives them some ammunition, incentive, inspiration to continue on.

[on her recording and film Is There Life Out There? (1994)] Women will come up to me and say because of that song they went back to college and got their degree after their kids were grown. Music is very, very strong. It heals. It talks to you like nobody else can talk to you.

[on her early career] It took me six years. Thank God the record label kept me on. It wasn’t a cram it down your throat, hurry up, throw it out, you’d better be number five or better or you’re out. Thank goodness it wasn’t that way when I was getting started, or I would never have gotten my toe in the door.
