“I'm such a happy, easygoing person.”

“It's okay to take time for yourself. We give so much of ourselves to others and we need to be fueled both physically and mentally. If we are in balance, it helps us in all our interactions.”

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

“I try to find a reason to laugh each day. Somehow, if you can incorporate laughter into your day, every day, it really helps. It's the little things in life that make me happy.”

“I have a wonderful family: My parents are churchgoing, salt-of-the-earth Southern people. They gave me a lot of love and are so unaffected by fame.”

“I constantly work at maintaining balance. For me, my family comes first. If my family is taken care of, then everything else usually falls into place.”

“Country music fans are extremely supportive. Once they're with you, they're with you for life.”

“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!”

“It's not complicated to embrace life. You just have to make the choice.”

“There are things I've done in the past I'm not proud of - and I could talk about them if I wanted to - but I don't reveal my secrets... I prefer certain things to remain personal; there have to be boundaries. And I don't think you need a scandal to have an interesting story.”

“I think society, in general, is hard on women, period.”

“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.”

“Marriage isn't something you agree to do one day, and if things don't go right, then it's over.”

“We're raising our girls to understand the real meaning of Christmas, and to know that it's most important to have Christmas in your heart. We go to our local mall and donate toys, and we say prayers for all the people in the world who might not be as lucky as we are.”

“Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue.”
