#Quote
1I grew up in a really musical family and I think I was just blessed with a gift. I kind of knew this was what I was supposed to do in life, with a little help from my mum and dad, who were never pushy parents.
2I'm very happy now; I'm married, I have wonderful friends, my dad and I have a great relationship. I feel better than I ever have. There was a lot more pressure when I was 14 - a lot more was expected of me.
3I was raised as a Southern woman so I am polite, have great manners and know how to handle myself as a woman. But I'm no goody two-shoes, definitely not. I have fun when I want to have fun.
4Me and my husband don't really do the drugs and rock'n'roll thing. We don't do crazy stuff like that. We're pretty mellow people.
5"I'm not an overnight success, I've been at this since I was 6." (On winning her Best New Artist Grammy at age 14 in 1997)

3Release of the book, "LeAnn Rimes" by Cathy Alter Zymet. [1999]
4Engaged to Eddie Cibrian [December 27, 2010].
5LeAnn has 4 tattoos. One on her left wrist that says 'Trust', one on her right hip (Still I Rise) and one on her lower back(LovE) symbolizing her relationship with boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, and one of a feather on her torso (which she documented on her reality show) to celebrate the end of her long-time recording contract.
6At the start of Rimes' singing career, the media often remarked that her rich vocals sounded like a "young Patsy Cline", and she was often nicknamed "The Next Patsy Cline" with the popularity of her hit single "Blue", a song originally intended for Cline to re-record when the original recording of the song by Bill Mack did not become a hit. ("Blue" was written in 1956 by Bill Mack, who also sung and released it in 1958 as his own single backed with "Faded Rose"; his recording received limited airplay but it did not become a hit. Contrary to claims, Cline was not the inspiration for the song. According to Mack in a 2011 interview for DFW.com, he wrote "Blue" in 1956 while strumming his guitar and the words and lyrics just came to him; his wife thought it sounded great so he recorded it as his 1958 single. Mack wanted "Blue" to be re-recorded by Cline in an effort to make the song a hit, but she had died in a plane crash in 1963. However, Rimes was not the first singer to record "Blue"; aside from Mack, "Blue" was previously recorded by at least four more artists prior to Rimes: Kenny Roberts, Kathryn Pitt, Polly Stephens and Roy Drusky. Rimes cover of "Blue" used the Polly Stephens rendition.) Rimes later covered several of Cline's hits on her self-titled album "LeAnn Rimes".
