I didn't realize what an impact having a No. 1 single would have. It connects me with people of different ages, and I get to travel all over the world.
I decided to do this TV series because what I do as a musician and songwriter is connect to an audience, so why not take that to another level,
Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.
I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals.
The guys in my band are great-we watch movies, we eat pizza, take walks, read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.
The shows are so different from each other, depending on whether I play with my band, Nine Stories, other musicians, an orchestra, only one or two members of my band.
There are many different ways to look at a situation, and it's important to look at things the way they are.
My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.
You are the treasure custodian, cleaning the moon for me, scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright.
When all the stars were falling, they fell from above, and I thought of hate, and I thought of hate, and then I thought of love.
I have so much joy in my life. I love my husband and kids so much. So much love. I'm also more focused now on spending more time at home and in town instead of going on tour. Because of that nesting, I find that I'm even more into writing and creating.
Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.
As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.
I always wanted to make a children's album because you have the freedom to explore so many wonderful topics and sounds.
