When I was young, I had two older sisters, and since I was the youngest in my family, my mom took me around with her all the time. I was forever with her when she was having coffee in the middle of the afternoon with her three sisters. And they would talk about men. I absorbed a lot of that.

My parents were on the Grand Ole Opry. They traveled all over the country singing hillbilly music. That's what they called it back then.
