I think it was 37 years that I did music.

When I retired from my music November 1997, it had been 37 years.

What I do miss that I don't get anymore? You're going to think I'm crazy, but you want the truth, so here it is. The lights! I miss the spotlights. I don't mean it figuratively. I mean it literally. I love the feeling of lights.

When I had my television show, 'Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters,' it was my high hope to convert people to country music. It is wonderful and contagious!

I am loving being Momma. I really, really am.

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.
