Wynonna Judd

I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.

Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.

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.

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.

It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.

I am most proud that I stayed true to the music of my soul.

I always make music that is true to my spirit.

I also believe my musical abilities are a true gift from God.

I am a child of God.

If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.

Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.

I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.
