Words are not even within me. They're not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.

I have always been the life of the party. When I got to the point where I wasn't anymore, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what it was. Once you figure it out, you can start to fix the problem. It's a day-to-day struggle.

There's no way to be able to tell what it's like to be a country singer until you're walking in the shoes.

I do enjoy making videos, even though they are long days and very hard work.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.

My dad was always my manager as far as I was concerned, even when I had another manager. At times he let me go with someone else who he thought could take me to another level when he couldn't, and he was right. But they were in it for another reason. He was in it because he wanted to see me succeed no matter what, and he made decisions based on being a dad as opposed to a manager.

When I was a kid my Dad never let me sing Patsy Cline songs for one simple reason: they've already been done.
