I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.

I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.

I don't know if I like being the sentimental favorite.

I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.

There has always been a feeling with people that they love my singing but not always the choice of material.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

I enjoy all aspects of singing and I'm luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.

I don't think the music that I do is nostalgic in any way; I don't think about going back to nice, old-fashioned music. I'm certainly influenced by old music, but I want to bring it slap-bang up to today.
