I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

We need to give artists a lot of free room to create.

If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

Being a Southern person and a blonde, it's not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart.

I have achieved a certain amount of success, and I felt a responsibility to my daughter and to women in this world to create more opportunities for women.

That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.
