It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.

It's hard being away from home. But other than that, performing is the highlight of my day.

I can't be the big star in the family. We have a family, and we are all equal.

I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.

Sometimes you run out of ideas, just like if you are a writer or whatever. Then you just have to wait around for something to inspire you or look for something to inspire you.

Honestly, I just have to do what's right for me, and what I would tell people is what I believe, which is that tolerance is very important.

You can love someone with all your heart for all the right reasons, and in a moment they can choose to walk away. love 'em anyway.
