Small Talk: Toby Keith, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert + More

The Boot rounds up this week's most memorable quotes from country stars.

"I'm just embarrassed that the Democrats are embracing the assault on Sarah Palin instead of denouncing it. It makes me pull for her because I've seen them attack me. But it doesn't bother me when they do it to me, because it makes me more money and makes me more famous." --Toby Keith (Source: Washington Post)

"I read a very creative rumor saying I'm pregnant, which is the most IMPOSSIBLE thing on the planet. Take my word for it. Impossible." --Taylor Swift (Source: her MySpace page)

"Ladies, I know what it's like and how difficult it is to date. So do what I did and get a dog." --Carrie Underwood, to fans at her concert in Los Angeles

"He's got such a great personality, but I did realize that long periods of time in a really small space with him isn't something I want to do everyday!" --Miranda Lambert, on sharing a tour bus with boyfriend Blake Shelton (Source: PEOPLE)

"We'll zip in souped-up golf carts around the parking lots when the fans are tailgating and have some burgers and beers with them. It's great to find out who they are and hear their stories." --Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney (Source: USA Weekend)

"I have no reason to want to retire. In the kingdom of heaven, there's no unemployment." --Ricky Skaggs, in an interview with The Boot

"I don't care who you are or what you are, if you've got something to offer as a human being. God judges us by the intent of our heart and by our deeds, and I've just never been one to judge and criticize other people for whatever. I'm not a racist. I don't care if you're black or white or green or blue - as gray as an alien - or if you're gay or straight or bisexual or whatever. Whatever you are, be that and be good." --Dolly Parton (Source Hampton Roads)
