I like a gooey cookie.

You start out playing in kitchens, and you end up playing in kitchens.

When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

I have adopted an 80/20 rule when it comes to my delicate relationship with food: 80 percent of the time, I make good choices; 20 percent of the time, I let myself splurge a little.

People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.

Music, from the time I was probably about five years old, was my obsession. I was going to say 'passion,' but I really was obsessed; I really didn't want to do anything else.

I love Southern rock; it's because I grew up on it, and no matter where I am, I'll always be a Georgia girl.

We play everybody's Christmas records at our house, and sometimes you think, 'I'm not gonna play my own record; I'd be embarrassed.' But I'm gonna play our record this Christmas, because I love the songs!

If you record a song that you love, then you're going to win.

I love cookbooks, and I have a ton. I have shelves of cookbooks.
