I love being able to perform in front of people. I like potentially making a difference in somebody's day or somebody's life.

There's not ever much of anything going on in my head.

Writing down everything I eat makes such a difference, because you never realize how much you're consuming unless you read it later in the day.

I would love to see more women making their mark in the music that I love so much ... There are so many more out there just waiting for their shot. I hope they get it!

Thank God even crazy dreams come true

I love chocolate, and I love to shop - just give me a good boutique. I like mall scenarios, too, because there's more right there at hand. I think Nashville could use some better shopping!

The first one I remember singing on stage was 'Somewhere Out There' from 'An American Tail.' I was around 7, and my choir teacher at school asked me if I would sing it. My parents told me that I needed to move around the stage, so for the entire time I just walked back and forth from side to side while I was singing - there's videotape of it.
