The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.

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

The failures and successes are necessary for learning.

The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment.

I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.

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.
