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.

People ask me where I go to get away and I say, 'home'

I don't want to be ignorant in my daughter's eyes.

My daughter is a redneck woman, she's a redneck girl.

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.

I'm a mom first, a singer second.
