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 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.

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

I have an unending desire to be better and make myself a better person, better mother.

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.

Love should be simple, but it's not. Hate should be hard, but it's easy.

And as long as people want to hear me sing, I don't know why I'd retire.
