"I`m not an overnight success, I`ve been at this since I was 6."

"I grew up in a really musical family and I think I was just blessed with a gift. I kind of knew this was what I was supposed to do in life, with a little help from my mum and dad, who were never pushy parents."

"I`m very happy now; I`m married, I have wonderful friends, my dad and I have a great relationship. I feel better than I ever have. There was a lot more pressure when I was 14 - a lot more was expected of me."

"I was raised as a Southern woman so I am polite, have great manners and know how to handle myself as a woman. But I`m no goody two-shoes, definitely not. I have fun when I want to have fun."

"Me and my husband don`t really do the drugs and rock`n`roll thing. We don`t do crazy stuff like that. We`re pretty mellow people."
