Faith that it's not always in your hands or things don't always go the way you planned, but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you, and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.

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

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

I love connecting with the fans. I love being on stage.

I grew up singing in Kansas. My dad had a band when I was growing up. So I sang in church and school and started singing with his band when I was seven. So I've been singing all my life.

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