When my dad died, I developed a nervous habit. He was very shy and quiet, and I was like him.

All I ever want to do is what I am: a singer.
But these days, it's hard to make it just on a beautiful voice.
Nashville used to have more integrity than just looking at the bottom line.
You're either in it for the long haul or you're not.
Music is universal; it's healing.
So many singers want to act, and so many actors try to sing.
There was a time when country never used to do videos.
Now so many really good groups who have had a first major hit can't get a deal for a second one.
You have to be committed or you fall behind, lose out.
Well, maybe surf one time; I think it would be fun to catch a wave just once.
Women have to show that tummy to stay noticed.
Country is not what you heard on the Grammys.
It used to be that Nashville would work to develop promising artists.
Staying focused is hard work and staying married is even harder.
