If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose, If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you, If you don't get drunk on my kiss, If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done. Let's not drag this on, Consider me gone...
Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
[Faith] guides me on everything I do, i ask for guidance, I ask the Lord to give me wisdom when I speak, when I think and I always try to be positive and say nice things and it gives me strength throughout every minute and every day.
But I think a song that is really emotionally packed, with a great melody that just will soar, that's the keeper.
I don’t think there's ever been a point in my career where I've said, 'I've made it.' What does that mean, 'I've made it?' Made it to what? If you say, 'I've made it.' then are you finished? I don't want to be finished. I don't want to quit.

I think it's a wonderful time for a woman.

I think my song that reminds me of Mama is "I'm A Survivor" because she is one.
. . . we got our lungs from Daddy, and we exercised them early and often during those years up in the hills gathering cattle and becoming lost, when that famous McEntire yell saved our hides more than once.
I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
