By the time I get done with my fans and my music and my kids and my family and my fiance and my horses, well, they suffer too, but, I don't really have much time left to do anything else.

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.

Well, you know, certain - for one reason, I think that the intervention process is a good process for most people, but for me, it just looked like a bunch of my friends trying to get back at me and sit around taking jabs at me, you know, when I couldn't defend myself.

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

You know, as any parent will say, you know, life happens.

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

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.
