“I have a really amazing fan club, it's contemporary but it's a little bit old school. There's a lot of connection. I have a fan club president who really responds to people.”
“Honestly, I just have to do what's right for me, and what I would tell people is what I believe, which is that tolerance is very important.”
“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 to do it!”
“My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.”
“I wish I could do an entire spa day.”
“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 like the creativity of planning a party, or cooking and taking care of people, creating a memorable meal or event.”
“Some days I do well and I eat really healthfully. But I don't think we should deprive ourselves of anything, so some days I indulge and give in to cravings.”
“I'm not fond of crunches or lunges, but I do them anyway because I do see results. For me it's about being fit and staying healthy more than anything else.”
“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.”
“My older brother was into Creedence Clearwater Revival and ZZ Top, and my sister was into pop radio. So somewhere along the line, I got into Ozzy Osbourne, REO Speedwagon, Heart, Pat Benetar, Journey.”
“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 make our family traditions a priority.”
“You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.”
“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.”
“I don't really have any kind of rigorous or definite routine before I go onstage. I like to eat at least an hour or two before I go on. If I can't do that, I just wait until after. I try and drink lots of water before I go onstage.”
“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 find that putting my makeup on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show.”
“I just love where I am right now in my career. I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre. I've been able to have a solid career that we've built one step at a time and a family. I know that I'm in a good place.”
