I still fit in with the hillbillies!

People ask me where I go to get away, and I say 'Home.'

I’m a mom first, a singer second.

I’ve always been the kind of woman who had a man in her life even when he was the wrong man.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to hearing my name being mentioned alongside all these other legendary artists that have come before me.

It became apparent to me really fast that I wasn’t going to be able to make a living and pay my bills playing on Broadway.

I just like Raisin Bran – it keeps me regular.

What I’m doing is a dream come true but at the same time its work. It’s like anything else. The only time it doesn’t really feel like work to me is when I’m on stage and doing what I’ve prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing.

I don’t want to be ignorant in my daughter’s eyes.

Let me get a big ‘hell yeah’ from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah.
