My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

Mama is funny. She has a great sense of humor and loves a good joke. Loves a practical joke, too.

Thou shalt not whine' should be the eleventh commandment.

I exercise at least five times a week with stretching, Pilates, push-ups, planks, sit- ups, squats and light weights.

It really has lifted my spirits. It's intensified my faith, given me more hope. That's what music does for me.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing all the way. Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make.

My mama is my best friend. We have fun, we can talk about anything, she always is on my side but really quick to tell me when I'm wrong. That's a true friend. She's loyal, smart, witty and intelligent. She loves family and loves to travel. All the things I love!
