“Whereas before I was a young, blonde girl who would do what she was told. I know who I am as a person and I’m getting damn strong.”

Always be careful dealing with your cards when you have a queen of hearts in your mind.

I have to live my life. I have a family and I just think it’s absurd to let other people influence the way you live.

I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find it inspiring.

Being famous is just a job.

I’m a very private person. Sometimes I’m in denial that I’m really famous.

I just sing what I’m feeling at the time and hope my fans will like that and appreciate that.

I go out with friends, but I don’t have time to get in trouble.

I hear her bite is deadly! Be careful ladies and gentlemen.

Riding is my favorite thing to do.

It’s always nice to have those WTF moments that keep us aware.

I find it so funny that people find me interesting.

I think it’s important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.

One of my strongest gifts is that I’m pretty straightforward.

Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.

Don’t treat me like a little girl.

When you go through heartbreak, you just do things that get you by.  Eventually, you realize it’s about making the most of life.

There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.

It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

I’m a strong person. I’m a warrior and I know what is inside of me.

I would only hire someone to work directly for me if I was willing to work for that person.

You have to be willing to allow the person you are today to die so that you can give birth to the person you are meant to become.

Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to step out and try.

You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter what the outcome.
