Reba McEntire

For no. 1, it's great writing, super writing. The second thing is that it's great chemistry with all the actors. We just all got along from the very start. Very get-go, we all got along. We just - it was just like we were all meant to be there together.

So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn't like. And what they had an idea for, we didn't like. So, we went home.

I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.

I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.

Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

I love to sing with different people.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. You can do a very eclectic group of songs. You do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. You have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

I love to wear boots - and shoes, I don't like at all.

I just love motherhood.

You don't waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.
