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.

It's a good question, because to be believable is the only way that you could be successful.

The world says they'll never make it, love says they will.

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.

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.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.
