I've been on stage since I was five years old and I feel really at home there.

You have to stick to your guns and still know when to be flexible. That's something I've had to learn-which battles to fight.

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

Not only do I know how to milk a cow, but I know how to herd a bunch of cows, too, which is a life skill that I think may come in handy someday.

What I do to take care of my heart is exercise and try to eat healthy.

A big part of who I am is just the way I was raised. Nobody is better than anyone else, and if you really work hard, you might get lucky and get what you want.

What drives me now is the desire to be able to keep doing this. I love making records and performing, and success means I will continue to have the privilege to do that. I know it's not going to last forever, but I'd like to keep having success as long as I can so that I can still be a part of this industry.
