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.
It's not the size of the house. It's how much love is inside.
It's always nice to be thought of.
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 find that putting my makeup on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show.
I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty.
I can't be the big star in the family. We have a family, and we are all equal.
I was always into music. And none of my friends were really into music the same way I was. So it was just different. It was really not very well understood by most of my friends. They didn't tease me about it - they just didn't really relate.
The thing about my fridge is, it's a family fridge, so there's a little of something everybody likes in there.
I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music, because my dad was in a band that played country, and whatever my sister and brother were into.

I was always thin. I guess I have good genes, so I never worried too much about my weight.
I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
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.
I definitely feel a difference about my place in the industry. I feel like I have some longevity now.
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.
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.
I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.
It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
I find that putting my make-up on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show. It kind of helps me make that transition from 'mommy' to 'performer,' or star or whatever you want to call it!
