“When I go into the studio, I’m strictly for business. I don’t like any fooling around in the studio.”

Sittin’ here resting my bones, this loneliness won’t leave me alone. Two thousand miles I roam, just to make this dock my home.

I love England from head to toe. I love the weather, the people. I was there in the summer and it was nice. The people are so groovy.

If I were to leave the U.S., I’d live in England. But I’d never leave the U.S. I own a 400-acre farm in Macon, Georgia. I raise cattle and hogs. I own horses, too. I love horses as much as singing. I like to hunt on horseback.

Sitting in the morning sun, I’ll be sitting when the evening comes.

This loneliness won’t leave me alone.

You’ve got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don’t ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it.

I usually mug up my Telugu dialogues much before going to the sets every day.

I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot.

Being in the studio is my absolute favorite thing.

I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio.

I’m never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.

I use the studio as my drug. That’s where I relieve everything at – the studio.

Feels good to be back in the studio.

My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.
