“Whoa!!! I heard I offended one of my all time favorite artists Ray Price by my statement “Nobody wants to listen to their grandpas music.”

If they know you’re a nibbler, they’re going to wait and look for that. Hitters have to be more aggressive if you’re more aggressive.

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside.

What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn’t choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.

I get on Twitter, one of my routines during the day, if I’m home is, I wake up, get a cup of coffee, turn on the Weather Channel and I’ll look at what people are saying to me on Twitter on my phone.

Shoot, man, I love everybody! I don’t have time to hate.

If you’re callin’ ’bout my heart, it’s still yours / I should’ve listened to it a little more / Then it wouldn’t have taken me so long / To know where I belong

I’m not that smart, but I’m smart enough to know that if Usher wants to help you, you let him.

If I have one, I’ll have thirteen. No, there ain’t no in-betwee. Cuz the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink.

My life has been an open book, for better or for worse.

I was just 17 years old and had to get some new friends to actually sign up for me to get electricity and utilities because I wasn’t even old enough to have things like that.

If I had to choose my best day ever, my finest hour, my wildest dream come true, mine would be you.

I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you’re going to stand up there, take your vows, and be married to them for the rest of your life.

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they’re not afraid to let show.

When things go wrong or dont turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.

I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me – and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management. At some point, I need to recharge.

You’ll be my glass of wine I’ll be your shot of whiskey

Holding these babies in my arms makes me realize the miracle my husband and I began.

I go to my grandchildren. They keep their grandpa informed on what’s going on.

It’s a different story because guess what, the kid is only 28 years old, 28. He’s not his dad, not his grandpa. He’s 28 years old.

I didn’t realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn’t even know that until a year or two ago.

Especially last year in Ottawa, I had a whole section my grandpa got for all my family, and the skating club (supported me).
