There's an energy about Nashville that I love and I miss. And it's so awesome right now. It has a new energy that's so cool.

Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food, it's definitely music.

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

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

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 always want to sing, but I don't always want to be trying to have #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.

What's meant to be will always find a way.
