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.

Everybody has problems.

I would much rather be a better mother or better human being than I would be a singer. Fortunately for me singing makes me a living.

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

The best thing is being able to perform in front of people and to express my feelings, whatever they may be at the time. Just to be able to make the world a happier place to be.

We've got great fans that rock and roll won't have, because you can have a one-hit record and country music used to, not so much anymore and you have a fan forever.

That's the era we grew up in. It's weak to go to a psychiatrist.
