I never really had any friends my age. I've grown up in the adult world all my life.

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

I grew up having to care what people think; it was part of my job.I've been built up and torn down, built up and torn down. It's been difficult to tune people out, especially in the las few years. Now i'm starting to care more about me and not what everybody else thinks.

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.

A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I'm gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens.

I'll get into conversations with other people, and all of a sudden they will say something that sparks that... either the titles to me, or just the conversation itself will spark an idea for a song.

I know myself, and when you start to really know who you are, you don't question it when you read what someone says about you.
