I signed my deal when I was 11, and the success I had, no one could explain that to an adult, what's about to happen to them, much less a kid. There's not many people around who've experienced that.

Health to me is an overall mind, body, and kind of spirit thing.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

What I enjoy most about going out on stage is seeing all my fans react to my music.

I will love you all my life and when I die I will still love you through eternity and beyond.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.
