I am a fan of today's sound as long as we don't get too slick, and yet I am very reverent of my roots.

To heal from the inside out is the key.

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.

Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.

I am most proud that I stayed true to the music of my soul.

I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.

I also believe my musical abilities are a true gift from God.
