So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they're going to come see you, and if they don't, and if you're kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won't come see you.
I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.
You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.
But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.
And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane.
Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.
I had lots of breaks.
I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.
So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn't like. And what they had an idea for, we didn't like. So, we went home.
Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.
Waiting makes me restless. When I'm ready, I'm ready.
I have the attention span of a 2-year-old. I like to jump from project-to-project.
I just love motherhood.
Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
I love to sing with different people.
I've never turned my back on country music.
It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.
And I was mischievous. I was always into something. So when I got good attention from the singing, I knew that was probably where I needed to land.
I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.
