I can see me continuing to make the best music I can, and let the chips fall where they may.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

When you really are country, and you don't just wear it like a piece of clothing or something, you really can't get away from it. It just is who you are

But I just love that music scene so much, and I enjoy really being around those artists and watching them even more than I do performing, because they are a whole group of people that do it because they love music.

Never settle for the path of least resistance

I think a lot of it had to do with, you know, I was always a daddy's girl. I was always wanting to please him, and I think he was pleased when he'd walk past my room and I was listening to those records.
