I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'

I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.

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.

I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are. To me, that's what being a star means.
