You don't waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.

<hr>
Being a strong woman is very important to me. But doing it all on my own is not.
<br />
<hr>
Easter is very important to me, it's a second chance.
<br />
<hr>
[when asked by Larry King if she had ever been asked to "sex it up" a little] I'm more of the down-home -- I guess, you know, the good-old girl. Being sexy is kind of funny to me. You know, I can get kind of spunky or I can get tough, you know, that kind of tough, sexy look. But sexy? No, I don't think so. Just what you see is what you get on me. And it's never been anything of a sexual nature.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. |
