My life started being awesome five years ago.

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 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.

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

You don't need to look at the beauty to feel the love.

I wanted to explore more of us and lose myself, I wanted it to be you and no one else" AP

I dream, sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do.

I seem to enjoy making my life miserable by taking on too many projects and always wishing I could put more time into all of them.

If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.

Evangelical Christians are not sincere. It is all about making money.

The great thing is that when you hire string players you always get really great players. I don't know why that is.

Sheffield United are attacking their own fans.

I learned music listening to Elvis' records. His measurable effect on culture and music was even greater in England than in the States.

There's so much that I like about Pittsburgh, actually. The cultural district and museums are wonderful, and I encourage everyone to check them out. And the food is excellent, too!
