I think country music is popular - has been popular and will always be popular because I think a lot of real people singing about a lot of real stuff about real people. And it's simple enough for people to understand it. And we kind of roll with the punches.

Johnny Cash has only passed into the greater light. He will only become more important in this industry as time goes by.

One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.

If there's something bothering me in the business end of things with people I work with, I just say it right out.

I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.

I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.
