I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more!

I have a lot of respect for my birth mother I know she must have had a lot of love for me to want to give what she felt was a better chance.

A little bit of stage fright, then I'm ready.

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

We're raising our girls to understand the real meaning of Christmas, and to know that it's most important to have Christmas in your heart. We go to our local mall and donate toys, and we say prayers for all the people in the world who might not be as lucky as we are.

Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It's been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It's a great town.

My family and my friends are most important to me. These people are my foundation.
