Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.

I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma on a working cattle ranch, and it was always very romantic to me: The West, the cowboy, the Western way of life.

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

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I'm going to get Jackie Ward to record.

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.

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