We want to be true to ourselves, and honest to the fans and to ourselves.

Politicians against gay marriage now, are the future villains of our American History books.

I'm definitely always drawn to the injustice of people who have been imprisoned for things they didn't do. But also lots about abortion and gay marriage. Civil issues are usually what I am drawn to.

I did some years of therapy and self-realization, and I just move and think at a slower pace - doesn't make me sound very smart! But really not reacting and doing more listening than talking, and letting people say what they need to say, and then maybe not saying anything at all.

I don't want to put my fate in country music fans I'm too stubborn.

I see life everywhere I look. I get the energy off the water. Hawaii really, when I am there, it feels like how we are supposed to live and how it's supposed to be: slower, just appreciating our surroundings. I love the people there and the aloha, the history. They're really rooted in something.

I really kind of set the bar really low, so I don't get disappointed.

I hike every day with my dog, after the kids are off to school. I tend to get wrapped up in all the things that need to be done during the day, so I really am strict about setting that time aside for myself and not scheduling anything before eleven, so I can get my hike in.

We only have one rule and that is there are no rules, so stand up and sing as much as you want to.

Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence. And we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.

I'm still in the Dixie Chicks we haven't broken up... I love the Dixie Chicks it's the most fun I've ever had in my life. It was like winning the lottery.

If something or someone's really bugging you, just sit on it. Just sit on it.

I'm not the greatest communicator. I kind of internalize a lot.

Even though it's still the United States, I think on many levels they feel separate, especially the true Hawaiians - who are not necessarily thrilled to be a part of the United States. But I just love the whole spirit.

I see life everywhere I look. I get the energy off the water.

I feel the president is ignoring the opinion of many in the U.S. and alienating the rest of the world. My comments were made in frustration, and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view.
