I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.

I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.

I have surrounded myself with very smart people.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.
