I don't want to put my fate in country music fans; I'm too stubborn.

Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence. And we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.

We only have one rule and that is there are no rules, so stand up and sing as much as you want to.

I'm not the greatest communicator. I kind of internalize a lot.

Usually right when I'm feeling it, right when it's happening, I always find I need to be in some sort of survival mode or mature mom mode, so it always seems to come later that I have the breakdown.

If something or someone's really bugging you, just sit on it. Just sit on it.

I'm still in the Dixie Chicks; we haven't broken up... I love the Dixie Chicks; it's the most fun I've ever had in my life. It was like winning the lottery.

I really kind of set the bar really low, so I don't get disappointed.

I see life everywhere I look. I get the energy off the water.

I would feel like my life was a success if my children grow into well-adjusted, happy, functioning members of society. Capable and happy and normal.

We want to be true to ourselves, and honest to the fans and to ourselves.

You're very lucky... Friends are precious, powerful things - hard to earn, harder still to keep. You should thank this one for taking a chance on you.

Peace produces a proper perspective.

No guilt or anger or longing changes that.

I begin with an idea, but as I work, the picture takes over. Then there is the struggle between the idea I preconceived... and the picture that fights for its own life.

You can't be free if the cost of being you is too high.

I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.

I know I should stop smoking, but it scares me. I mean, what would I turn to next?

Say hello...to the BAD GUY!

If I had a party to attend and didn't want to be there, I would play the part of someone who was having a lovely time.

I wouldn't say I let myself down, just sometimes it doesn't go your way.
