I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.
Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.
I think if you're a painter, you paint; if you're a golfer, you golf; if you're a fisherman, you fish; if you're a musician, you play music.
During college I realized I had a music predisposition and really got involved in it. I started playing bass guitar. That was how I began to fit in.
Think about the number of people who do film music, make records and have a Native American heritage - and I may be the only one on the list.
When I hear bluegrass today, I hear so many new sounds in it. It's almost like country music in a way.
A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldn't have happened without the social changes.
We always thought we had to follow a certain theme but I don't agree with that anymore. I think the fans deserve a wider variety of music.
I don't mind putting my heart out there for the audience, and for the country music fans... to be vulnerable with them... that's my job as an artist.
Besides music and charity, fashion is one of my interests that has been growing over the past few years. I think it goes so hand in hand, music and fashion.
Miami is a really special place for me, particularly in the U.S. It was one of the first places in the country to really embrace dance music, and I've been going there for many, many years.
I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place.
Muslim leaders should ask themselves what exactly their relationship is to a political movement that encourages young men to kill and maim on religious grounds.
My husband, Nick Chiles and I wrote a number of relationship books together, and what we found was that women were thirsty to hear directly from men.
I don't like my men to be too ornate. I like them to stand back and let their women shine, and they should really wear the pants in the relationship.
My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.
People don't really understand who I am. They always think that I'm very dark or depressed, but it couldn't be further from the truth!
We live in an era of consumerism and it's all about desire-based consumerism and it has nothing to do with things we actually need.
I still kind of believe this absurd line that if you have to write it down, it's not worth remembering.
If you can't protect yourself with talk, you won't be alive to protect yourself with guns.
I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.
