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

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.

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

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

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.

It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.

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.
