I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.

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

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

Being a strong woman is very important to me. But doing it all on my own is not.

And so we were asleep there in San Diego. And our pilot called us. And his brother was on one of the other planes. And when he was leaving the airport, he saw in his rear view mirror that there was an explosion.

You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.

I can't imagine living a life without God in my life. He is my best friend, He's my buddy, He's the one that I talk to when there's no one around. I talk to Him when people are around a lot too. He's my confidant, He's my advisor, He's my director. I just don't know why you wouldn't want that in your life. He's just like a bodyguard, He is your protector.
