I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.

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

I've succeeded as far as I'm concerned - I don't feel that I have any cliffs I could fall over anytime soon.

I was in a very deep, dark slump, and I needed to find a way to get myself out of it. I had to force myself back out into life, back out into experiencing things.

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.

Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.
