mom home thinking
It's hard either way, at home or on the bus, I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.
names should decided
The one who actually decided that I should keep my name was my manager, Erv Woolsey.
music trying different
But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.
music country thinking
I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.
congratulations want knows
You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.
player guitar trying
So it's more the musician in me that makes me stretch out and try different things more than anything. But, like a lot of guitar players, I have one certain niche that's my thing that I'm better at than the others
stars important satisfaction
The satisfaction that I get from doing what I do is not what I thought. I thought it would be that I'd feel like a star, I'd feel important. But I don't
years nominations wells
Nominations come and go. It is not going to happen to you every year, and I am very well aware of that

never-settle path resistance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
music thinking guitar
So you do shorter versions of the hits, or you take out a long guitar solo or things like that to make time for the hits and new music as well. But I don't think any of us ever get to do as much new music as we would like to.
world lessons ive-learned
I've learned the lesson that when you're in the middle of something that seems overwhelming, or you're in a bad situation and it seems like it's the end of the world or whatever, then you learn that it's not.
amount bar feels
Having that amount of nominations makes me a little nervous, because you feel that the bar is really high, the expectations are really high, but it also feels great.
cut promised tried
With this album, I tried not to think too much. If I heard a song that I loved, I promised myself I wouldn't over-think it. If I loved it and if I wanted to cut it, I would.
