Quotes

• On her favorite thing to do: "Singing has always been a passion. I get such a release from it. It's such a passion, I love it!"
• My mom has been great, driving me in and out of town. She's been there every step of the way. And my dad kept things going back at home and my brothers dealt with the fact that they didn't have a mom around as much. They've all been really great.
