“I think women need to be babied and pampered and loved and cuddled.”

“I try to grow with every album.”

“As you mature as a woman, you relate to songs differently. You've experienced more things. If I had a choice to have or have not had the tough stuff happen, well, I don't wish for that for anybody, to strengthen them or make them a better person.”

“We can't be dictated to by radio. Radio needs to play what we send them.”

“I think I'm ready for the success I'm having.”

“When it's time to work we work; when it's time to play, we play.”

“When you think about the greats, like Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnold and George Morgan, there really isn't that much of a difference between their singing and Andy Williams and Perry Como. It's just the instrumentation that was a lot different.”

“You definitely will not hear any hip hop at my show. Not that I don't think there's an art to that, but it's not for me.”

“I think one thing I've learned is, I can't give my heart again until someone gives it back. Until I see that someone else is willing to take a risk... because love is a risk. You risk the chance of getting hurt and getting your heart broke.”

“A lot of times you idolize somebody from a distance and you get to meet them and you think, 'Eyuck. I wish I had never met you people.'”

“Even though a lot of people have recorded 'Unchained Melody' - Elvis Presley, Roy Hamilton, Frank Sinatra, LeAnn Rimes, Diana Ross and the Supremes come to mind - I don't think I'd like to cut it in the studio. I've had plenty of opportunities to record songs from the Great American Songbook, but 'Unchained Melody' has never been one I've picked.”

“I'd been around alcoholism throughout my life.”

“Whether in a moment of peace and quiet or exhilarating excitement, savor every minute of every place.”

“Another Lonely Song' is one of the most meaningful songs I've ever done.”

“That concerns me, that we're reaching out for perfection, when country music has always been about imperfection.”

“Unfortunately we're all in pain.”

“I try to find songs that say something about what I feel, songs that deal with the things people feel in their lives.”

“I got the reputation of being hard to work with. It has been hard for me to get rid of it.”

“Nobody - and I don't care if I marry somebody tomorrow - nobody could take Keith Whitley's place. Nobody.”

“I heard 'Angel' because my children are huge Sarah McLachlan fans. When I heard it for the first time I just cried my eyes out.”
