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

My father was a beautiful man.

I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.

Dysphonia is not a singing problem. It's a voice box issue in the muscle on the voice, very different from having a nodule on the vocal cords, which I've never had. I'm lucky that I've never had that. It needs a long renewal time, and even today, I am still addressing it.

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.

Now that I have and I'm not a have-not, I've learned how important it is to maintain humility.

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.
