Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.
Writing is very much a playground; an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.
It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.
Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.
I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.
I feel sexy when I get out of the tub - your skin is fresh and you've put up your hair without looking.
You've got a way with me. Somehow you got me to believe in everything that I could be. I've gotta say, you've really got a way. You've got a way it seems. You gave me faith to find my dreams. You'll never know just what that means. Can't you see, you've got a way with me.
It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.
So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue.
If it does stand out [my clothing], then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.
I'm more private than people realize. I'm not that easy to get to know.
I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength
I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain.
The only reason that you do visual is solely for the visual. That's the only reason. It doesn't sell your music for you.
My goal is to appeal to as many people as I can. I'm not looking to leave country, but I do want to have more international success.
All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.
Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music.
Man! I Feel Like a Woman!
I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life.
I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.
I don't have to worry about what people are thinking and what's going on in the industry. I don't want that stuff to influence what I'm doing. Because I think it stifles you creatively. I don't want to have to care too much about that. All I care about is what the fans think. It's really all I care about, honestly
I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.
I am very excited that my music and career will be showcased on XM. Through the years I have always tried to find new ways to present my music and my story to my fans. I'm excited to explore this long-form interview concept and bring something unique and different to the table with this six-part series on XM. It's nice to look back, even [for me], at the whole thing. It's a great reflection.
Later in my life, I'm going to look back and smile and be very fulfilled. I know that if I don't give it my all right now I'll regret it later. That's very important to me, because I've worked all my life to have this.
I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.
I remember I autographed it to Mutt Lange, and I may only have put one t on Mutt. I mean, I'd never heard of such a name. I'm sure he must've thought that was quite funny. He must've known from that autograph, right off the bat, that I had no idea
