Artists in not only country but other genres usually make four or five albums, then they change producers to keep their sound moving forward.

I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.

I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.

I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.

There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.

I've had the big ups and the big downs.
