“I'm just a girl from a small town in Illinois who had a dream.”

“I think country music is about storytelling.”

“I was fortunate to get a record deal when I did because I don't know if I would have in this climate.”

“I'm not a big fan of the music business, but I love the music.”

“The music business has changed so much. It's not the same business that I came into.”

“I always felt that I was a singer first, and I was a songwriter second.”

“I love to play music. I love to be with my band. I love to travel.”

“I've always tried to make records that have a lot of heart.”

“I think it's important to be true to yourself and your music.”

“For me, the goal has always been longevity.”

“My dad was a welder. He was a good union man. He was a Democrat, and he taught me to be a Democrat.”
