I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.

The thing about Nashville is, it's not just country music...There's rock & roll, there's every kind of music. It's just a music town...There's so much fun stuff to get in to.

The thing about taking risks is, if it’s really a risk, you really can fail. It’s only a pretend risk if you really can’t fail.

My life started being awesome five years ago.

My twin sister, my cousin, and I used to write and perform plays for my family. We raided the closets for costumes and fought over parts. I'm sure I was the bossiest one.

I'm obsessed with 'Thelma and Louise,' and therefore obsessed with Callie Khouri who wrote that movie.

I always want to stretch myself and do something that I haven't done before.

It’s funny – my married friends tell me all the time, 'What you have is so much easier.' When you’re doing it on your own, you don't have to [argue over] how you're raising the kids.

My whole background is theater, and theater is to some degree presentational.

Divorce is hard. I was about 29 when my husband and I split up. I think we probably fared better than most, because we were young and didn't have kids - but divorce is hard.

Your opinions about me does not change who I am. I am God’s special possession.

It's human

We don't receive wisdom we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Jesus literally sliced through years of rabbinical law and cultural norms with the extreme love of God that sees the treasure in every human heart.

When we're passionate about something, we have a positive attitude and embrace each day with a new outlook.

It is probably fair to estimate the frequency of a majority of mutations, in higher organisms, between one in ten thousand and one in a million per gene per generation.

I'm happy in retirement.

My friend Taylor Swift’s new album, 1989.

Till the master of all good workmen shall set us to work anew.

I don't think anybody's mind's gonna be changed.
