I grew up asking for everything under the sun for Christmas, but I knew I wasn't going to get it all.

I don't let things go unless I'm ready for them to go.

I think society, in general, is hard on women, period.

Marriage isn't something you agree to do one day, and if things don't go right, then it's over.

I know one of the reasons God gave me kids was to test my patience.

I love 'Somebody to Love' by Queen and of course 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is one of my favorites, just because it makes everyone in the room go crazy. Everyone tries to sing along with it, and half the room gets it right and the other half gets it wrong.

There was a period of time when I first moved to Nashville, like the first couple of years, that I was just simply lost. I didn't know who I was; I didn't know really what I was doing here. I was meant to be a singer, but I just felt lost. That's when I went on the search for my birth family.
