Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.

I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.

I was worried about the children. Maybe something happened to one of the kids. I never thought it happened to the parents.

Everybody wants you to do good things, but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry, have children and go to their football games.

I'm still proud of what I've done, even if it hasn't been the biggest song on the radio or hasn't gone to number one.

When you're a mom and you have three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.
