I'm a home girl. I like to stay home.

I'm very competitive but in a very nice way.

The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my ‘Cry’ album, because sonically, I think it’s my best album to date. But other than that, I’ve never listened to my records, ever.

Country music fans are extremely supportive. Once they’re with you, they’re with you for life.

Reba is very, very close to everyone around her. She’s a classy lady.

The foundation of family – that’s where it all begins for me.

When I saw Elvis on television, I just fell in love with him completely. As a singer, I want to be able to relate to an audience like this man does. Of course, nobody can – he was the best there ever was.

I have had wrinkles on my forehead and my smile line since I was a kid. I see them in my own kids. I know what they’re going to look like. So it’s kind of like that’s my personality. I feel the older you get, too, the more confident you become just in your own skin.

I don’t want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it’s a good day. So, give me more!

I wasn’t a great background singer.
