I'm just a simple country girl.

I don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.

Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.

I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.

I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.

We're all just a bunch of sinners, but we do the best we can.
