I Tried Every Diet In The Book.

I Don't Keep Up With A Lot Of Trends. I've Never Been A Fashion Horse. I'm So Busy Writing My Songs, Trying To Maintain My Business, And All The New Things That Come Along. I Stay Working All The Time.

For Some Reason, I Have Better Luck When I Work With Women. I Guess I Have A Good Sense Of Sisterhood.

I Don't Listen To Music For Fun. I Ain't Got Enough Time For Fun! I'm Always Busy Writing My Own Music. I Don't Try To Compete Or See What Other People Are Doing.

No Matter What, I Always Make It Home For Christmas. I Love To Go To My Tennessee Mountain Home And Invite All Of My Nieces And Nephews And Their Spouses And Kids And Do What We All Like To Do - Eat, Laugh, Trade Presents And Just Enjoy Each Other... And Sometimes I Even Dress Up Like Santa Claus!

My Biggest Extravagances Are Also Investments. I Have Several Houses In California, A House In Nashville, An Office Complex, And I Bought The Old Home Place In Tennessee. They Are Different Places For Me To Write, But I Can Turn Right Around And Sell Them.
