WYNONNA JUDD

I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

The failures and successes are necessary for learning.

I am most proud that I stayed true to the music of my soul.

I have a very deep and wide relationship with my fans.

I don't take my fans' love and dedication for granted.

Without love in you life, you have nothing.

We are losing our superstars like Johnny and June Carter Cash and that breaks my heart.

The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.

There's a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans.

I know that the internet has helped a new world audience find me.

Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.

I also believe my musical abilities are a true gift from God.

My music is about the journey, about love and the human experience.

I always make music that is true to my spirit.

I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.

When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity.

You have to fill your cup. You then give away the overflowing, but you keep a cupful for yourself.

It took me 36 years to be able to be by myself and like it.

Digital downloading of music has affected us all in adverse ways.

I learned again that the mind-body-spirit connection has to be in balance.

It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.

Success takes us to the top and away from those we love.

I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.

Silence is refreshment for the soul.
