• "You just don't flaunt your stuff. Mama says it wouldn't be polite. You don't talk about your love life or how much money you make or personal things."




• "I have these little talks with myself. I call it an attitude pep talk. I say, 'Ashley, this is not one of those moments you pray God sends a thunderbolt to make it better. Girl, you just endure."




• "I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I'm living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone."




• "I can't think of anything I want and need that I don't already have but at the same time, I'm not sated."




• "It's unconscionable to breed with the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries. I know it's a strong opinion a lot of people won't agree with and that's not to say some day I might not feel a different impulse."




• "Oh, my Cats! My Kentucky Wildcats! I love them."




• "Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, they're from Georgia. But us Kentucky girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it."




• "I think that, as with marriage, you just know when it's time to have kids."
