I've read about myself and my husband and my family, to the point where they've called my parents, they've called my brothers, offering money to tell stories. They call friends of mine. I'd just like for them to just ... don't badger us. Don't scrutinize us. We have children and they have to live, too. It's not fair.

I've never felt like this in any other country. I feel at home, I feel wonderful

I've turned down a lot of arena dates because I've done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them.

I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.

I'm proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We're all God's children.

Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.

I can tell you that I am not self-destructive. I'm not a person who wants to die. I'm a person who has life, who wants to live. And I always have. And I wouldn't mistake it for anything else other than that.
