I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.

I'm from a small town where everybody always has something to say - you shouldn't sing secular music, you shouldn't do this or do that. A ton of "shouldn'ts."

I've always been about less government.

I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

The fact that I've managed to find a husband who understands and respects everything I do is astonishing.

And more so now, since having a family - I don't seek out any other acceptance.
