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.

You can't break what's broken already.

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

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.

Living life, I mean, my two stepsons, my husband, I think every day - today interaction inspires me - as far as music goes - inspires my art.

Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.
