I Just Want To Be As Good

I Was Offered To Take Over For Reba In 'annie Get Your Gun,' But It Wasn't Where I Wanted To Be. I Think My Fans Would Be Upset If I Confined My Shows To One City For A Long Period Of Time.

I Would Love To See A Revival Of What We Had Against The War In The '60s - We Could Do These Teach-ins On The Internet, Live And Split Screen, And Have Real In-depth Debate Between People That Are On The "other" Side Of Issues - Nuclear, Gun Control, Whatever. We Could Really Be Having A Much More Democratically Involved And Exciting Debate With People Emailing Their Questions And Having A Virtual Town Meeting.

How I Measure Success Is Getting To Make Another Record And Being Able To The Come Back To The Same Town And Play Again Cause You Sold Out The Last Time.

There's Lots Of Flaws And Frailties And Cracks In The Armor, And Nobody Wants To Put Themselves Out There As Some Kind Of Joan Of Arc Because None Of Us Can Live Up To That, But I'm Grateful To Be A Role Model And Be Respected Because I Have A Whole Slew Of People, Men And Women, That I Feel The Same Way About.

I Thought I Had To Live That Partying Lifestyle In Order To Be Authentic, But In Fact If You Keep It Up Too Long, All You're Going To Be Is Sloppy Or Dead.
