I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I didn't get into music to become famous and I didn't get into music to become rich either - I got into because I liked it.

I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

There's nothing cooler than a good fitting, worn-in pair of Wrangler jeans, so it's great that with the new Retro line, my fans can go out and rock the same styles that I love.

I think country music is obviously a great form of music. I think it's cool and has mass appeal.

I love fried okra. The fact that it's okra makes me feel like it's good for you - I forget the fact that it's fried.

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.

I find endless sustenance in the creative. I freely drink from the fountain of knowledge. I'm forever the student - considered the teacher.

But I could control these flames. It was an irresistible urge, one that I didn’t want to ignore. - Aurora

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.

Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

Education is the key. But it's the kind of education that we teach that is the key. We don't have it.

Cloud walking. I like that. And yeah, that's exactly how you make me feel. Like my feet will never touch the ground.

No other success [in life] can compensate for failure in the home.

When I was 17, I was a Lakers Girl; I was the youngest girl on the squad.

You cannot protect something without intervening on some level.
