I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted.

Americans can pretty much sing anything, whereas foreign singers are often limited in style, language, even composer.

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

I'm rarely singing in English.

We sing in English, not mimicking some American rock singer's accent. That's just pretending to be something you ain't.

Once you know the Romance languages, singing in those languages is so sexy and sensual. I do have a global audience, so why not?

Singing is my passion and I always wanted to travel the country.

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

I have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what religion or color of their skin, or situation in life.

Every country can be defined through their food, their music and their language. That's the soul of a country.
