When I first came out with Blue, everyone compared me to Patsy Cline, which is the biggest honor, 'cause I've always looked up to her.

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

My dogs are about unconditional love. It's so wonderful to walk in the door from a long day and all they want to do is be loved and to give and give.

Inspiration is everywhere! I think you just have to have your eyes open.

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.

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

I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard. I believe that someone in that great somewhere hears every word.
