I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.

I'm like it's - it's like taking out whatever you have in your fridge and putting it in a bowl and eating it.

I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.

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.

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.
