After 9/11, I was like many people in New York City and got a little depressed. I began to check myself into The Waldorf Astoria for room service, movies and just to chill. I wanted to contribute to the great city of Manhattan.
I love London because of the history. The times I've been there have been some of the best memories in my life. Singing there, seeing great theater - and the people like a Southern accent.
Norman, Okla. That's where my folks live, so it's home to me.
New York. It's home to opera, Broadway, museums, the ballet and orchestra - everything that I love. The most real people in the world live there.
Chicago - it's a mini-New York.
I want to eat good Italian food and get better at their language. It seems so romantic too.
I'm kind of a weirdo; I love prison movies and war movies.
I'm trying to learn, as I'm in my 40s, to embrace what I've been able to achieve and be proud of it. And I know there's roles that I will want to play before I die, but I'm still just taking one day at a time.
I want to be a Christian like Christ - loving and accepting of other people.
Apples, grapes... any kind of fruit gives me the energy I need to get through my busy day.
Well, you know, people don't know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that's how I grew up singing.
I'm a wild lady. Not.
I used to want to be tall, and then I thought, 'If I were tall, then people would say I was pretty and not cute.' And then I realized that there are worse things than being called cute.
I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.
