You want people to feel something when you tell a story whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.
I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. It's not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs.
I'm part of the party getting the crowd fired up singing songs pouring drinks whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet someone's always going to have a story a sad story or a happy story.
No not really it is just like real life. Not everyday you are happy and not everyday you are sad.
When you're happy you don't always have to be laughing and when you're sad you don't have to be crying sometimes it's the opposite. You laugh when you're the most upset.
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind and I can no longer recall them.
I can't say I'm happy to be talking about John Ritter and his passing. In my 21 years of Entertainment Tonight this really was one of the most shocking and sad things to have happened.
What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.
It's sad when you can't make everyone happy though. It's impossible but at the same time you still hope. You think 'Maybe I can do it ' but you know you can't. But gosh if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then I wouldn't get it right.
If I don't make it I'll be very sad that there are things I didn't do but I'm happy that I've done what I have.
