Faith Hill

“Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It's been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It's a great town.”

“Country music is the people's music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.”

“This may sound funny, but I feel my most beautiful when I'm clean, fresh out of the bath. I don't have to be dressed up. I could be in comfy clothes at home hanging out with my family.”

“I grew up asking for everything under the sun for Christmas, but I knew I wasn't going to get it all.”

“Shania Twain brought a whole other fan base to country music with her sound, the way the videos were produced.”

“I think I'm a lot like other moms out there who feel like if we don't have the pecan pie we have every year, then it just won't be Christmas.”

“I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.”

“I'm still proud of what I've done, even if it hasn't been the biggest song on the radio or hasn't gone to number one.”

“I wasn't a great background singer.”

“My family and my friends are most important to me. These people are my foundation.”

“The hardest thing for me is planning ahead. My mom was brilliant at it.”

“I've always defended Shania. She not only opened doors; she knocked several down.”

“When you're a mom and you have three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.”

“To be honest, I didn't really understand how involved putting a fragrance together could be - or would be. Once I made the choice to actually do it, I just went for it. I just dove in and have really learned a lot about putting a scent together. It's kind of exciting.”

“A little bit of stage fright, then I'm ready.”

“I have this strength that comes from knowledge.”

“Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.”

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

“There was a period of time when I first moved to Nashville, like the first couple of years, that I was just simply lost. I didn't know who I was; I didn't know really what I was doing here. I was meant to be a singer, but I just felt lost. That's when I went on the search for my birth family.”

“I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.”
