I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together.

It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.

I can't be the big star in the family. We have a family, and we are all equal.

I find that putting my make-up on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show. It kind of helps me make that transition from 'mommy' to 'performer,' or star or whatever you want to call it!

I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music, because my dad was in a band that played country, and whatever my sister and brother were into.

By itself, tofu is like wet foam rubber, but you'd no more eat it by itself and expect fine dining than you would stare at a blank canvas and expect to see fine art.

I'm always angsty when I'm working my way through a first draft.
