Mama was a stickler on keeping your word. That's helped me to make the right decisions in so many situations. Because of that, I also think really hard before I make a decision because I know I'm going to have to see it through.

I think it's a wonderful time for a woman.

I think my song that reminds me of Mama is "I'm A Survivor" because she is one.

I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.

I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.

[Faith] guides me on everything I do, i ask for guidance, I ask the Lord to give me wisdom when I speak, when I think and I always try to be positive and say nice things and it gives me strength throughout every minute and every day.

I don’t think there's ever been a point in my career where I've said, 'I've made it.' What does that mean, 'I've made it?' Made it to what? If you say, 'I've made it.' then are you finished? I don't want to be finished. I don't want to quit.

I love my mother-in-law and I think I'm a really good one, too.
