Musically, I always wanted to experiment.

I always have to just be myself. Anything else, I'm not happy, and it comes out musically.

I always wanted to be the rockin'est country chick in the universe.

I've always wanted to make records that rock like hell. But also, I've never wanted to compromise that Country place deep inside.

My mother has always been open about all kinds of music and entertainment. She wanted us to see that it was not just country music and the Grand Ole Opry.

I moved back to Tennessee in '86 or '87. That's when I worked with the Carter Family because I really wanted to understand my roots.
