I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.

It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce with children. Very, very hard.

I think Patsy Cline made country music classy. She just opens her mouth, and it's just heavenly.

I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity.

Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana.

The sign says do not enter, no trespassing allowed. With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd.

I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.

I think it has done us more harm believing in the huge differences between left and right, Democrat and Republican.

Christmas comes during a season when the Earth is in its darkest time. It's a holiday for the family and for everyone.

To deserve this fate what have I ever done?... All I want is just a little piece of mind but the angels won't have it.

There's a point when your tape of life runs off the reel and there's this stillness of your own - I got to know myself.

It's the closest to death I have ever been. The chemotherapy takes you as far down into hell as you've ever, ever been.

I have a very strong opinions about health and our responsibility to our own health, and I will always say what I feel.

There is no fear when you choose love. The more you choose love, the more love is in your life. It gets easier and easier.

I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.

Cancer Is an opportunity to sit down and look into yourself and find the answers. Yes, it's serious, but it's not the end-all.

My wife works harder than anyone else with the children around the house. I make the money, sure, but she does everything else.

What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.

The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.

I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car. I'm only lonely after dark. I'm only lonely when I watch my TV. I'm only lonely occasionally.

I definitely feel we're moving forward. There's a lot more understanding... there's less fear and we're working on there being less hatred.

I have days when I say, 'I'm going to have five chocolate chip cookies today.' I'll have a salad every day but every week I have a cheat day.

Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.

I hope that you know in your heart how you feel about things, and you don't let the people that live on fear and hate govern the way you live.

Cancer's like the ultimate excuse. Who's gonna say, 'Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?' 'Hey, I got cancer. I can't be there.' It's the ultimate eraser.

My belief is that cancer comes from inside you and so much of it has to do with the environment of your body. It's the stress that will turn that gene on or not.

On the road, as a 'rock star,' there's superficial attention and adulation is thrown at you for a couple of hours - then you're alone in your room and it's lonely.

When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That's because it's scary and it's inviting.

To be completely stripped bare of any image power or my hair. To step onstage and get the response that I got blew any problems I had about self-image out the door.

I was constantly around all those religious images and to me, angels exist. I feel we were definitely guided and helped and I'm always referring to them in my work.

I think I'd like to be inspirational to anyone who has a dream, anyone who wants to make more of their life than maybe what is set out in front of them. And you can!

In country music, there are certain female artists, like Gretchen Wilson, where you're going to find lesbians because they're responding to that more aggressive side.

I look forward to exercising my American civil liberties and getting fully, completely and legally married this year to my true love of over three years, Linda Wallem.

We all want to judge; it's an intrinsic part of our society and human nature. I'm not surprised that talent shows are hits, but I'm glad some of them aren't so brutal.

I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'

I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.

When you realize that we're the spirit that's in our bodies and our bodies are like the vehicles that take us around, you realize that you have to take care of that body.

I tell people that anything that could ever happen to you on stage has happened to me. My clothes have fallen off. I've fallen off the stage. I've gotten sick - anything.

There's been so many different types of musicals and it's a funny genre because there's a fine line between clever and stupid. It really takes a genius to know how to do it.

There will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.

I adopted a healthier diet. I take at least a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar a day. It's an old wives' tale, but it really is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.

I believed in Obama for social issues. I believe he brought our nation together and healed our racial divide. Martin Luther King's dream came true when he was elected. That's huge.

I saw you with your envoy A consenting adult Technique in moderation But vogue to the cult Me I've got my strangers To exile in the night I guess I'm just addicted To the pain of delight

Go on and close your eyes, go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you

You are digging for the answers until your fingers bleed, to satisfy the hunger, to satiate the need.... And as you pray in your darkness for wings to set you free, you are bound to your silent legacy.

Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of it was fear. Refuse to hand it down - the legacy stops here.

I don't have a bucket list because it is my dedication to live every day of my life there. I don't have a bucket list because I'm doing it that day. I don't want to go to bed and say, 'Oh, I wish I had done this.
