A big part of who I am is just the way I was raised. Nobody is better than anyone else, and if you really work hard, you might get lucky and get what you want.

Mom

That’s the hardest thing about being a mom. You want to be cool, and you want them to like you all the time, but you can’t always have that. You’re gonna have times where you have to say no, and you won’t be the most popular person in the house.

Faith

Faith that it’s not always in your hands or things don’t always go the way you planned, but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you, and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.

Dad

Martina McBride | dad

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he’d listen to a lot of music and the songs that he’d learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.
