I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.

It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers. It's an even better feeling to be welcomed and accepted by country radio and its listeners. If desire is any part of this equation, then I'm a contender!

If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

I felt like a sinful person when I dated men and allowed them to feel for me in a way I knew I could never naturally feel for them. That felt wrong and a lie.

I would like to say when I turn the project over to the label that I have been successful. And that's truly the way I feel. But, in addition to the self-pride in 'making' a good album, to be honest, I'd love to have a hit record.

In the first decade of my life, I came to know and love God, as I was raised in a Christian home and community.
