Trisha Yearwood
It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.Collection: Cool
Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.Collection: Relationship
I have a lot of friends who, especially in Tennessee, were looking forward to getting married who wanted to wait until it was legal in the state that they live in to get married.Collection: Legal
When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.Collection: Mom
If you're doing this because you feel like you have a burning desire to do it, then you'll find a way to do it, no matter what. If you're doing this because you're thinking, 'Hey, this will be really cool. I'll be famous. I'll be on YouTube,' then you'll probably quit, because it's not easy to do for the long haul.Collection: Famous
I never want to record something that I'm not proud of just because I think it might be a big hit. There's no positive about that because if you record a song you hate and it's a big hit, then you're singing a song every night that you hate. And if you record a song that you hate and it isn't a hit, then you sold out for no reason.Collection: Positive
I'm like everybody: I gain the Christmas 10 or so, and then I try to exercise more and dial it back.Collection: Christmas
We play everybody's Christmas records at our house, and sometimes you think, 'I'm not gonna play my own record; I'd be embarrassed.' But I'm gonna play our record this Christmas, because I love the songs!Collection: Christmas
I don't think you can name one diet I haven't done.Collection: Diet
You want to sell records, but if you want to call yourself an artist, your job is how you express yourself.
If you're a painter, you don't go, 'Abstract's really selling, so that's what I'm going to do.' If you're really truly an artist, you have to think what you're meant to paint.
I've patterned myself after my musical heroes.
If you record a song that you love, then you're going to win.
After 'Real Live Woman,' I wasn't sure I'd ever want to make another record.
The most important thing I want to get across is that maintaining weight loss is just hard. It takes a dedication to exercise and eating right most of the time.
What I've learned, traveling the country and doing book signings, Mama's biscuits - you know, somebody in Montana's got their version of Mama's biscuits, somebody in California's got their version - so it made me realize that we're not as regionalized as we think we are.
I grew up in Georgia, so I grew up listening to the Allman Brothers.
I love Southern rock; it's because I grew up on it, and no matter where I am, I'll always be a Georgia girl.
The reality is that you think you're going to have all this time out here, to do all this stuff, and the truth of the matter is, you just don't. If we're on the road, and we stay in the city we're in, I'm going to try to get up in the morning and get a workout in.
I lost my mom to breast cancer about three years ago, and it has changed me forever.
The first award I ever won was for Best New Artist from the ACMs, so they always will hold a special place in my heart.
You find what makes you happy, and it's usually being with the person you want to be with.
I have adopted an 80/20 rule when it comes to my delicate relationship with food: 80 percent of the time, I make good choices; 20 percent of the time, I let myself splurge a little.
I think about food all the time, so making peace with eating is a daily battle for me. I won't say I've completely figured it out, but I will say that right now, I win that battle more days than I lose it, and I believe that's the key.
I'm as surprised as anybody. I never would have thought I'd be here talking about having a cooking show on the Food Network. It wasn't on my list of things, but it's fun, and I'm having a good time.
If I start trying to make a record for what I think could possibly get played on radio, I'm dead.
Of course, I want to sell records, and of course I want to get played on radio, but it has to be about making the record that I'm proud of.
Martha Stewart was the one who really did show everybody that you can do everything.
You sign your life away, basically, when you sign a record deal, and if you have a platinum album, then you go back in and renegotiate.
I have not heard a Martha Stewart album yet. But, you know, it could happen.
I keep in touch with these people who knew me long before I got a record deal.
I'm just trying to be the next Trisha Yearwood.
I have to say, I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan, and I'm still not.
When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a country music singer, but I never dreamed I'd be a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
I gotta say, I'm a huge Chris Stapleton fan.
I did Scarsdale. I did Weight Watchers. I did Atkins.
I've been blessed to live a lot of dreams.
I'm not really a runner. It does not bring me joy. The runner's high thing - I have no idea about that! I especially hate it on a treadmill.
Every health expert tells you to eat breakfast. I had the mentality, 'I'll save those calories!' But then you are starving, and you overeat.
The kitchen is the heart of our home.
I think if I tried to be the stern parent, we would have slipped into Cinderella mode - with me as the evil stepmother!
One that I know people really like is my Crock-Pot mac and cheese. It's comfort food that's good for Super Bowl parties and easy to make.
The thing that people have said over and over again, especially people who don't cook, is, 'I watch your show, the food makes me hungry, and I think I can make that.' That's exciting because we've heard that a lot of people watch cooking shows but don't make the food.
One thing my mom taught me was that when you're making deviled eggs, flip the eggs over the night before. They've been sitting in the carton as they're transported, so the yolks settle on bottom. If you flip them, then the yolks aren't skewed to one side.
Sometimes, life just gets in the way, and you have to forgive yourself for putting on a few pounds.
When we got married - almost 10 years ago now - we made a commitment to really be together, which means we hardly ever spend a night apart. And being madly in love is important, but I think it's equally important to be in deep like! I like this guy... we talk about everything, and we laugh a lot. Life is good!
I'm 47, You learn life is short and it's not worth doing something if you don't enjoy it.
I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.
Get your education, and if you see small opportunities, take them. Each one could be a stepping stone to something bigger.
What's meant to be will always find a way.
