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'd like to do a Christmas album. I've never done a Christmas album.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.

I really like Alan Jackson, in Country Music. I think he's really very, very talented along with George Jones, and Merle Haggard, the same old favorites.

I don't know what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder... I think it's just pure perseverance and wanting to succeed and having that burning desire to always have success.

The more people told me that, you know, wow, you should be so blessed. Dont you feel blessed? And you have all this - mansion and all these beautiful things. And I said, you know - the more they told me that, the more depressed I got.

At times when I didn't have records out, the press has really kept me out there. My bad reputation has done wonderful things for me!
