A lot of people think I'm a comedian.

I think country music is popular - has been popular and will always be popular because I think a lot of real people singing about a lot of real stuff about real people. And it's simple enough for people to understand it. And we kind of roll with the punches.

People like bluegrass. It's had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.

A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.

You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don't know what's goin' on, I then got the money, and gone.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.
