I just know what I want, and I'm willing to butt heads with folks to get it.

Sometimes I get emotional when I'm doing 'Lonesome Valley' or 'Wildwood Rose.'

Carlene Carter

There was a period where I was a little scared that I'd blown my chance.

MusiCares was really good to me. I can't say enough how MusiCares helps other people. They really, really helped me. They have the greatest groups and support for musicians in recovery.

I grew up on the side of the stage. I never had a fear of an audience. I never felt like they were separated from us. We were all in the living room, and it happens to be a big living room. I continue to operate on that assumption.

I like things all shined up and rocking with hooky pop choruses.

The first five albums I did, I tried a little bit of everything. I was trying not to conform at all.

Eccentricity has never been discouraged in our family.

Carlene Carter

If someone asked me to do something I didn't want to do or didn't think was right, I wouldn't do it.

I was always in a big hurry to do everything. Before I was 20, I was married twice and had two kids. But I don't regret any of it. I learned a lot about myself. I had a lot to say for someone my age, real early on.

I do feel I'm responsible to carrying on the music. That's what I was charged with as a kid. When I was a little girl, I was told, 'When we are gone' - when you're a kid, you never think they'll ever be gone - 'you have to keep the music alive, the Carter Family songs, and add your own songs.'

I believe everything falls into place as it's supposed to.
