I don't really think about having had a hard life. It was just my life, and it's all I knew. It made me who I am - all the good and bad - and it's where all of the songs on Here For The Party came from. I've lived them all.

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.

Cause I'm a redneck woman.

It became apparent to me really fast that I wasn't going to be able to make a living and pay my bills playing on Broadway.

I'm a mom first, a singer second.

Good music is good music.

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