Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.

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.

I used to only worry about the #1's and all of the awards. But that was a long time ago.

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.

In my darkest hours I had a choice to make. I could be a victim or a victor.

The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.

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