On Her New Album:
"The title of the new album is called 'Keep On Loving You.' It's an eclectic group of songs.. a mixture of uptempo, sad songs, slow songs, story songs, sassy songs, emotional songs, break-up and love-type songs!"
On Finding Strange:
"We selected 'Strange' because of the energy in that song, the attitude. Consequently, it reminds me of 'Can't Even Get The Blues,' my first number one record."
On Consider Me Gone:
"We all fell in love with it. It's a strong woman's song. And she's pretty much laying down the ground rules. She's saying: 'If I’m not the one thing that you can’t stand to lose... and if you think you can do better than this, consider me gone!'"
On Country Loyalty:
"What keeps me motivated is curiosity, competition. The loyalty of country music fans is just totally amazing to me. I just love them, they're the greatest thing in the world. When [the fans] quit wanting me to do anything, why would I do it? It has to be two players there."
On Inspiration:
"My mommy and daddy inspired me with their courage and hard work. My husband Narvel Blackstock inspires me with his creativity. People in the business? Well, I look up to Dolly, Loretta, Tammy, Anne Murray. All these ladies who work so hard! Barbara Mandrell, I studied her television show so much. And then there’s the people whose mistakes I study more than they do right."
