[on inviting audience members to join her onstage] I do try to assess "Is this person drunk?" or "Is this person going to be hysterical and not manageable?" And so I do watch the body language. I don't always get it quite right, but I've never had any security issues. Show less «

[on incorporating live animals into her act] They have a mind of their own. Sometimes they'll pee onstage or sometimes they'll poo. We just never know really what's going to happen. The unpredictability keeps us on our toes. Show less «

It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.

When you don't come from struggle, gaining appreciation is a quality that's difficult to come by.

I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life. Show less «

There were moments when I really just thought, I don't need anything and I don't need anyone. I just want to go away and disappear.

I feel sexy when I get out of the tub - your skin is fresh and you've put up your hair without looking.

I'm always soul searching on a spiritual level.

I feel like in a way I'm starting over, with everything.

Life unravels the way it does, and it has an effect on you, but you have to take responsibility for dealing with it.

Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.

I won't lie, I've had a lot of discouraging moments in the past years, moments I wasn't sure about things and doubted myself.

I enjoy sports in person.

I'm more private than people realize. I'm not that easy to get to know.

You learn to accept your own reality.

I'm not someone who is glamorous all the time.

I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

My life revolves around my child's routine.

I want to be successful, but I don't really have what it takes to do it comfortably.

I don't want someone photographing my cellulite - I can't take it!

I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.

Dysphonia is not a singing problem. It's a voice box issue in the muscle on the voice, very different from having a nodule on the vocal cords, which I've never had. I'm lucky that I've never had that. It needs a long renewal time, and even today, I am still addressing it. Show less «

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.

So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue.

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique. Show less «

I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.

Putting a stamp on things just helps you say, 'Hey, yesterday I was there, and today I'm here.' It's another step forward, and it feels like another turning point and an unleashing of creativity, and now I'm going to start focusing on the show and the production, the fun stuff that comes with it.

I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.

I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain.

Now that I have and I'm not a have-not, I've learned how important it is to maintain humility.

I'm neither embarrassed of who I am, where I come from, what I've experienced, I'm not ashamed of it.

I really can't imagine not singing again.

If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.

I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.

I don't take any day for granted anymore.

I temporarily lost my hope in love, and it was temporary, thank goodness.

I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries, and I want to change that because it's not good for me.

My father was a beautiful man.

I'd like to see the Olympics live. I've only watched it on television.

I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.

I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength.

I enjoyed working at McDonald's.

I certainly could've gone off track many, many times in my youth.

For a good 10 to 12 years, I was working non-stop and I wasn't really enjoying my success.

Coming from where I came from, it was unimaginable to ever be wealthy. That was just too far out of my reach.

I have my own opinions, but my songs don't share them.

I have two fathers.

I think it's important that readers know that not every celebrity is a freak.

I love the role that men play in our lives.

I like being at home and cooking.

I want romance.

I was not naturally meant to be on stage. I hated being in the spotlight; I was scared.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.

I'm like everybody else.

I've been performing my whole life.

It's really such a personal journey, making a record, but even more so writing the songs.

It always disappoints me when I go to a concert and they don't play my favorite song, or at least one of their biggest hits.

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.

If I hadn't had a childhood career, I probably would've signed a contract with the first person I came across.

I've succeeded as far as I'm concerned - I don't feel that I have any cliffs I could fall over anytime soon.

It's very hard to concentrate when your stomach's rumbling.

It's very hard to be honest with yourself when something's just not working.

My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice.

Suffering does not discriminate.

My voice is stronger today than ever.

The red-carpet spotlight is a little bit more nerve-racking when you haven't been doing it all the time.

Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music.

The only reason that you do visual is solely for the visual. That's the only reason. It doesn't sell your music for you.

You can't just turn love on and off.

You don't want to be outside during blackfly season.
