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 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 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!
-
The best part is seeing my kids grow and become individuals, and the fact that they're happy and well-adjusted.
-
I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty.
-
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 always thought it would have been fun to spend an evening with Patsy Cline - just because I think she was really fun and interesting. I think you'd have a really good time with her.
-
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.
-
It's hard being away from home. But other than that, performing is the highlight of my day.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The way you look is so dependent on the way you take care of yourself.
-
Why do we get so angry at ourselves when we eat foods we love? Do you think guys walk around going, 'I just ate a cheeseburger and I'm so mad at myself?'
-
I wish I could do an entire spa day.
-
It's hard to say no to your kid. It's hard for them to stomp off and not be happy with you for an hour.
-
I have girls who are concerned about how they look compared to models or what have you. It's my responsibility to teach them that beauty is more than superficial.
-
I feel like it's important to use this gift God gave me, my life and my career to do something to make the world a better place. It's an easy thing for me to do.
-
It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
-
In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.
-
I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
-
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.
-
It's always nice to be thought of.
-
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.
-
I'm not a big fan of flying. I definitely try to take the bus whenever I can. I've gotten a little bit better about it, but it was a pretty crippling thing for many years. I feel safer in a private plane.
