I'm just a simple country girl.

I'm a workin' girl.

My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I think country music is popular - has been popular and will always be popular because I think a lot of real people singing about a lot of real stuff about real people. And it's simple enough for people to understand it. And we kind of roll with the punches.

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn't really know what all that meant. I didn't know.
