I think she is a wonderful artist and I think she's a wonderful girl. And I only wish her the best. I understand all those crazy things. I went through a lot of that myself through a big lawsuit in my early days with Porter Wagoner trying to get out on my own'. She continued, 'I understand where she is coming from and how she feels. So, I hope that all turns out the way that it should'.
