«I am a mom first and foremost. That's why I don't tour. People ask why I don't have CDs and live in Nashville and I tell them I have children and they like to eat and have a roof over their heads. I'm really very much a mom. I have a 15-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old daughter and they are my number one priority.»

«God spreads it around pretty good, he allows me to sing, so I'm not going to be picky.»
