I'm a very independent woman.

The hardest thing for me is planning ahead. My mom was brilliant at it.

Country music fans are extremely supportive. Once they're with you, they're with you for life.

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

To be honest, I didn't really understand how involved putting a fragrance together could be - or would be. Once I made the choice to actually do it, I just went for it. I just dove in and have really learned a lot about putting a scent together. It's kind of exciting.

When I saw Elvis on television, I just fell in love with him completely. As a singer, I want to be able to relate to an audience like this man does. Of course, nobody can - he was the best there ever was.

Everybody wants you to do good things, but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry, have children and go to their football games.
