The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.

I'm not anxious to be anywhere other than where I am right now.

To me, the real thrill is in making the music, and then I just trust it to find its own audience, and at times it's big and at times it's small, but that's beyond my control.

But now it's kind of a given that a 15-year-old would have a record deal and sell a quarter of a million records. No one's expecting her to answer any deep theological questions. And I'll tell you, I was asked some deep theological questions from the git-go.

I love being with my children. They're fascinating people.

The world my children are growing up in is so much more sophisticated and exposed - emotionally, intellectually, sexually.
