You'll be surprised how much better you feel about the world when you feel better about your self.

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.

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

I learned again that the mind-body-spirit connection has to be in balance.

If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.
