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

But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.

And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.

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

Background vocals during her song "I Hope You Dance" .....'Time is a wheel in constant motion always, rolling us along. Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone.'

I don't sing country music because I'm not capable of singing other kinds of music; I sing it because I think it's the most beautiful kind of music there is

When you come close to selling out, reconsider.
