Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.
Digital downloading of music has affected us all in adverse ways.
However, we all have our own stories to tell. I'm following my path.
I also believe my musical abilities are a true gift from God.
I always go into a bit of a funk when the days get shorter and there's not enough sunlight.
I always make music that is true to my spirit.
I am a child of God.
I am a fan of today's sound as long as we don't get too slick, and yet I am very reverent of my roots.
I am learning that the beliefs I have about my self cause me to make the decisions I make. I act out of fear, out of anxiety and uncertainty.
I am most proud that I stayed true to the music of my soul.
I am proud that I am a good mother to my children, a good daughter to my mother, a good sister to my sis (Ashley Judd) and a good wife to my new husband.
I am striving to be a healthier, happier child of God in this coming year.
I don't take my fans' love and dedication for granted.
I guess I'm addicted to work and always going. To stop would be to die.
I guess the key is to really listen to what it is you truly need.
I have a very deep and wide relationship with my fans.
I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.
I have found that if I don't take this time daily, I feel a bit lost, scattered and mentally worn at the end of the day.
I have, unfortunately, in the past years not stopped when I needed to. I've hit the wall but kept going.
I know in my heart that I'll find my way.
I know that the internet has helped a new world audience find me.
I learned again that the mind-body-spirit connection has to be in balance.
I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.
I spend 15 minutes to an hour reading by myself.
I used to only worry about the #1's and all of the awards. But that was a long time ago.
I'm going to be turning 40 this year and celebrating my 20th year in the music business.
I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.
If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.
It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.
It took me 36 years to be able to be by myself and like it.
It's as if God has been showing me that I need to make peace, to heal from the past.
Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.
My music is about the journey, about love and the human experience.
My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.
People in Germany are hungry for real music, something that speaks to the heart.
Silence is refreshment for the soul.
Sometimes running a corporation, dealing with powerful companies and trying to juggle so many projects takes its toll.
Success takes us to the top and away from those we love.
The failures and successes are necessary for learning.
The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment.
The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.
There's a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans.
They are being unfairly punished by illegal downloading. I think we have finally found a way to fix the problem with these new great sites which require paying for the songs. Otherwise, it's nothing short of stealing, to be honest.
To all the dreamers out there, don't give up on your dreams.
To heal from the inside out is the key.
We are losing our superstars like Johnny and June Carter Cash and that breaks my heart.
When I make that time for just me, I'm calmer and focused.
When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity.
Without love in you life, you have nothing.
You have to fill your cup. You then give away the overflowing, but you keep a cupful for yourself.
