I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.

And I hate to see artists who are real safe. I love to see artists swing for the fences sometimes.

And I also have a camera, a Web cam, and I have one at home, so I can hook up and talk to the girls, and they can see me while we're on the bus in the middle of nowhere.

And I think that's a singer's job. You know, to really interpret a lyric. There's an art to it, and I think some people are really great at it, like Tammy Wynette and George Jones and Tony Bennett.

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

It's hard either way, at home or on the bus, I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.
