My divorce was like a death - a genuine death of commitment and love. After I got over the shock, I was like, tell me theres some way we can save this. We can save this, right?

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

Horses calm me. I love being around them. They smell great, they are beautiful to look at, they are loving, demanding, temperamental, and they settle you.

I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.

When everything goes without a hitch, where's the challenge, the opportunity to find out what you're made of?

The best thing about being a woman, is the prerogative to have a little fun!

My passion is more in songwriting than ... in being a star.
