What I'm doing is a dream come true but at the same time its work. It's like anything else. The only time it doesn't really feel like work to me is when I'm on stage and doing what I've prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing.

I just like Raisin Bran - it keeps me regular.

I've always been the kind of woman who had a man in her life even when he was the wrong man.

Today, if you were to look at my CD collection, it might scare some people.

Well I'm an eight ball shooting, double-fisted drinking son of a gun

I don't know if I'll ever get used to hearing my name being mentioned alongside all these other legendary artists that have come before me.

I'm a mom first, a singer second.
