I always thought it would have been fun to spend an evening with Patsy Cline - just because I think she was really fun and interesting. I think you'd have a really good time with her.
Faith that it's not always in your hands or things don't always go the way you planned, but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you, and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.
Not only do I know how to milk a cow, but I know how to herd a bunch of cows, too, which is a life skill that I think may come in handy someday.
I have been fighting writing songs for a long time. People keep telling me I should write, and other writers have offered to write with me, and to be honest, it's not something I've ever really had a passion for - plus I wasn't sure I had the talent ...
It's not the size of the house. It's how much love is inside.
I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre.
I love to get books, because I love to read.
Why do we get so angry at ourselves when we eat foods we love? Do you think guys walk around going, 'I just ate a cheeseburger and I'm so mad at myself?'
I love to read about healthy eating and preach to my husband, who doesn't listen. Now I'm trying to teach it to my daughters.
I just love where I am right now in my career.
I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together.
It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
I was always into music. And none of my friends were really into music the same way I was. So it was just different. It was really not very well understood by most of my friends. They didn't tease me about it - they just didn't really relate.
I listen to music I'm looking to record or catch up on news and TV, whatever is on the TV at the gym!
I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.
A big part of who I am is just the way I was raised. Nobody is better than anyone else, and if you really work hard, you might get lucky and get what you want.
Raising three girls, I think it's important to teach them to support other women.
