I like the values in Flicka, and I wanted to do a movie my kids could see and be proud of.

Loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough

We ride and never worry 'bout the fall. Guess that's just the cowboy in us all.

Love can sort of rebound and regrow and reinvent itself around a lot of things, but when somebody can't forgive themself for something, I think love sort of withers in that situation.

Sun on my shoulders and the wind at my back, bound and determined to get back on track to where the heart is..where it's been all along.

I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can't be friend and their parent in a lot of situations, especially in this day and age where it's so dangerous for kids. So there's a bit of sternness, I guess, in the way I raise my kids.

I think of myself as a serious artist. Sometimes you can get in your head too much about that and forget that you have to have fun. I've been guilty in my career about that at times. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I didn't want anybody else to have a hit with it!
