I've become a captive of my own ambitions.

You're gonna have to learn to get out there in front of those cameras and hold your head up. Take charge when you're singing.

I'm not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and I'm still in the thinking stage.

In childhood I developed a serious throat infection, and my heart stopped beating. I recovered from that illness with a voice that boomed forth like Kate Smith's!

I've become a captive of my own ambitions.

I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.

I'm at that point again where it don't matter where he is to me anymore.

Sitting around the house playing the wife and mother is driving me crazy.

The one thing I wanted to do more than anything else was sing country music.

I'm gonna walk a little bit of dog.

I would never have gone anywhere if it hadn't been for Mother's faith and support.

I played with Arthur Godfrey for about a year and a half.

If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.

My new house is going to have wall-to-wall awards!

I'm gonna be something one of these days.

Boys, they can't take my refrigerator now. They'll never get my car now. I paid cash for 'em and they're mine, and I'm keepin' 'em!

I'm having surgery today to have my face cleaned up. But it will take some fancy stitching to make me all beautiful again!

Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain't as big as the Grand Ole Opry.

I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.

It seems that every time I stick my neck out, I get my foot into something else.

I'm not gonna ride home in the car. I'll wait for Randy. I think I'll get home quicker.

Anybody that'll stand up to The Cline is all right.

I'd like to do my first record I ever made, A Church, a Courtroom, and Then Goodbye.

I can't miss a night's work and let my public down.

I recorded a song called, I Fall to Pieces, and I was in a car wreck. Now I'm worried because I have a brand-new record, and it's called Crazy!

Women who adjust as housewives who grow up wanting to be just a housewife are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps ... they ate suffering a slow death of mind and spirit.

For me, I exercise every morning. I exercise every day. I work out about an hour and 20 minutes, which is aerobics and resistance training. I work on agility and balance. I work on the things that are going to help my condition. I do agility training. I walk on a treadmill. I use an elliptical. I use weights.

Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.

Once you get over that peak of puberty, you hit a nice stride.

I wasn't a fighting kid or a causing-trouble kid. I was just one of those cheeky, crazy kids running around.

If you believe in an unseen Christ you will believe in the unseen Christlike potential of others.

My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce - those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I'm more empathetic, more relatable because of them.

As a professional, I think we're not being judged solely on technical ability anymore. People really want to be entertained and enjoy what they're watching.

I like white wine when it's young and vigorous. I don't think you should cellar white wine at all, unless it's white Burgundy, and definitely not nonvintage Champagne.

I'm a chairperson for 'No Kid Hungry', a campaign for poor American children.

Who can measure the love Christ felt for a lost world, as he hung upon the cross, suffering for the sins of guilty men? This love was immeasurable. It was infinite.

Millions upon millions of people came here full of hope and aspiration to this extraordinary land of liberty and opportunity, and helped build the United States. So the Atlantic Ocean was absolutely critical to the story of America.

When I first started YouTubeing, the idea was, 'Oh, YouTube is going to be a stepping stone to get to other places,' and I just totally don't agree with that. I think YouTube is amazing. The digital space is amazing.

I'd like to do something a little different. Something a little less intense. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet. For the first time in my life, it's great to have choices, but I think I have to be very careful in choosing the right next project.

Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration.

A very considerable body of the German people live in America and propose to fight that Government. Bourke in his great speech last week welcoming the Belgian mission to Boston worked out the President's meaning with care.

Hope can keep you alive in the midst of the turbulence.
