My desire is to stand by the fire that burns inside of you.

I'm just the instrument for the song to do whatever it's supposed to do-heal, inspire or encourage. It's not all about me, it's about the song. I'm just the lucky girl who gets to sing these songs.

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing, let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong... it's Independence Day.

Every show, every audience is different, and I just love leaving the venue feeling like we all know each other a little bit better.

I was always thin. I guess I have good genes, so I never worried too much about my weight.

What I would like my legacy to be is that of a person who took good care of her family and sang some songs that made a difference in some way. I hope I'll be remembered as somebody who was always down to earth and who handled her career and other people with honesty, integrity and class.

I love to sing with great singers.
