There will come a time when the public will tire of me and let me know it. That's when I retire. But so far, I've continued to grow. I keep pushing myself to improve. Barbara Mandrell continuegrowhave Change image and share on social
The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them. Barbara Mandrell capacitycarefault Change image and share on social
I don't know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me. Barbara Mandrell bigexcitfuture share on social
I'd love to be in a feature film, and I don't just mean in a starring role - it could be a small part. And I would like to act in television, to do comedy and drama. Barbara Mandrell actcomedydrama Change image and share on social
In my garden, which is a big garden, I have one part that is my bird garden, and every morning, 365 days a year, they get buckets of food - for the birds, for the squirrels, the chipmunks and the turtles in the summer. Barbara Mandrell bigbirdbucket share on social
I've always been one for show business. I like performing, and I used to get criticized for having production value. But now it's all that! People need to get what they pay for! Otherwise, just listen to recorded music. Barbara Mandrell businesscriticizehave share on social

I learned mainly through television, but I learned how to do mosaic, where you can buy stones or things of that nature. But also where you bust the tile to decorate pots for flowers or table tops. Lots of different things. Wherever you want it, you can mosaic just about anything. It took me about two weeks to do a big birdbath. Barbara Mandrell bigbirdbathbust share on social
Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and I were the first female headliners, where we would book our own opening acts. Before that, it was a standing joke that it was more like we had 'pretty little girl singers' opening for a male headliner. Barbara Mandrell actbookdolly share on social
It's an exciting life. I don't know where God is leading us. I just know that He opens doors and He closes the doors, and it is always the best for us. Barbara Mandrell closedoorexcit Change image and share on social
