I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.

Patsy Cline? Larger than life! She taught me emotion: raw, sincere, unashamed.

I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.

Sometimes I hate how much I love him But everyday I love him more

To me, being popular means I've got more friends. You've got to watch who your friends are, if you want to get close to them, but I've got a lot of acquaintances. And then, you've got to be real careful who your friends are, because you never know why they're your friend.

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!

I always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled.
