There's a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans.

I literally went from the outhouse to the White House.

I am proud that I am a good mother to my children, a good daughter to my mother, a good sister to my sis (Ashley Judd) and a good wife to my new husband.

Silence is refreshment for the soul.

I always make music that is true to my spirit.

When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity.

I always go into a bit of a funk when the days get shorter and there's not enough sunlight.
