| "Even though people are like, “Oh, you travel with your kids.” I do, but my kids are not the problem. It's everything else. It's a busy mind. It's constantly having all of these distractions, things you want to put your energy towards. You want to be a good friend, a good daughter, a good sister. It sounds terrible, but no one expects me to be any of those things when I'm on the road. I have no obligations. I don't have to keep up with birthdays. It sounds hideous, but because of that, you're not responsible. They understand that I have to be present there for me to feel any sense of peace. You've got two decades [of that] and you're like, “I'm okay being 30 minutes away from a store.” It's good for me. I'm able to sit there in the mornings before anyone wakes up and I'm able to pray in silence. When I look out the window and I see these massive dogs playing and my kids are chasing them, it looks like a freaking commercial."
