They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.

It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.

If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I didn't think I could do it.

They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today.

None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think.

I have some of the old videos of my performances on it.

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.

As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was.

Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit.

Yeah, they let me do whatever I wanted to.

There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time.

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.

You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

I'm still learnin'. I pick up something from every performer I watch.

I went from being a beanpole - like a normal kid of the 1950s - and exploded. The weight piled on and didn't stop until into my adulthood.

The 1970s crystallized the service mantra as we now know it.

I'm a basketball freak.

If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.

Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.

One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, "I have it," merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.

He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.

I don't need friends.

I grew up moving around. I went to seven different schools, so I know what it's like to be that new girl and have to not only know who you are but also take that into foreign circumstances and know how to respond.

People who are isolated interest me, whether they isolate themselves or have been isolated by circumstances.

My paintings are certainly nonobjective. They're just horizontal lines.

Blood is really warm its like drinking hot chocolate but with more screaming.

The artist never really has any control over the impact of his work. If he starts thinking about the impact of his work, then he becomes a lesser artist.

Living in a small town is like living in a large family of rather uncongenial relations. Sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it's perfectly awful, but it's always good for you. People in large towns are like only-children.

Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.

We are all responsible to Jesus first, and then, under him, to various other persons and offices. Discerning the path of love and obedience when two or more of these submissive relationships collide is a call to humble, Bible-saturated, spiritual wisdom.

Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow.

Being invisible would be pretty great. You could watch everybody, sneak into places and know what people were saying.

The minds of men are at last aroused; reason looks out and justifies her own, and malice finds all her work is ruin.

As the President has indicated, my life has been a life of travel - for 60 years constantly moving over the wide world on journeys which first and last have taken me to 83 countries, and, what is more significant, to most of them again and again.

I'm Thalia on my own.

I hope that China will continue with space exploration. It would be logical to have international co-operation. I hope that it will come about and that I can be involved in it.
