And I was mischievous. I was always into something. So when I got good attention from the singing, I knew that was probably where I needed to land.

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!

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.

No matter what you achieve in life, you're always wondering, 'Is there something I should be doing? Is there something I'm missing?

Get as much out of life as you possibly can with all the passion that goes with it. Then give it back with all the love and respect it deserves.

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

I have the attention span of a 2-year-old. I like to jump from project-to-project.
