The second purchase was my ranch, Mockingbird Hill. The third purchase was Longhorn cattle.

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.

I now have great color sprinkled throughout my herd.

You can take the girl out of Texas but not the Texas out of the girl and ultimately not the girl out of Texas.

The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house.

I have always written poetry but I have never applied it to songwriting.

My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

Longhorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design.

I love to ride horses, hike in the woods with Juliette and appraise Longhorns.

Acting manifested as the primary focus over the years but now I am stirring the pot once again with my voice.

I wrote my children's book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God's love.

My desire is to walk with God every day.

However, I do firmly believe in maintaining the integrity of the animal.

In 2003, I had the pleasure of acting in three films.

Thus, during the winter of 2003 I ventured into a new arena as a professional photographer.

I am both proud and honored to be on the Board of Directors for the Texas Ballet Theater.

My desire is to be a forgiving, non-judgmental person.

I don't believe in messing with mother-nature too much.

I have learned how to plant coastal hay, fertilize and bale it.

My desire is to let go of my ego and let in His direction.

I, also, found the opportunity to work with the actors extremely gratifying and rewarding.

I've got Ferraris coming out me bum.

I do admit to being challenging, but it's always for the work, it's never personal. I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

As soon as you're finished shooting, you have to go into the edit room and choose all of the shots that you're going to commit to because the visual effects vendor has to get it because they'll spend months on it. So, you're editing out of sequence before you've gotten a film for the movie and the performances.

We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.

Mobile is something I think about all the time now.

I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.

We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.

I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow was the Final Dawn, the last sunrise before the Earth and Sun are reshaped into computing elements.

When I travel too much, it affects the music, and that is the most important thing. As long as I make good music, I can play shows, but if the music starts getting bad, the show offers won't come.

Performance-wise, you really need to be down in the trenches; you need to do the hard work, for a lot of reasons: To build yourself as a performer, to get a sense of the audience, to work hard and to wonder, 'Do I really want to do this?'

My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt.

We have learned the need to be flexible or to have flexible forces, agile forces, who can move quickly, secure themselves when they arrive in a location, assess the needs of a given mission, and move to that mission.

Saudi Arabia has stability. The social contract and the political contract between the king and the rulers and the royal family and the ruled people in Saudi Arabia is very strong and the bondage is so solid.

Brunch is such an odd thing. It was created by fat lazy people who were too lazy to wake up at a reasonable hour and too fat to wait until the next proper time for dining.
