I'm open to any kind of situation in a song as long as it touches my heart.

A good song has to have a great melody, and the lyrics have to touch my heart. Now, if it's just a little toe-tapper, got to make me feel good somehow or another, or when I sing it I can't make you feel good.

Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

When I left, after my divorce, when I left Oklahoma, I never looked back. It was the future. It was looking forward from then on.

Life's supposed to be about making the path a little gentler for those traveling behind you.

So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn't like. And what they had an idea for, we didn't like. So, we went home.

The biggest challenge in my life is getting all these kids raised. I've helped with nieces, stepchildren and my own son, so the biggest challenge is making sure the kids are raised and finding enough quality time with them.
