It's funny, the whole cooking thing came out of just a random thought of writing a cookbook with my mom and my sister for fun.

I don't need to be 19 years old or starve myself for some weight or turn men's heads down that road. And thank God I finally know that.

When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.

It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.

I always want to sing, but I don't always want to be trying to have No. 1 records. I don't think you can do it forever. I don't know what the time span of that is going to be. I want to sing because I want to sing.

People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.
