“My husband’s coming, my husband’s family’s coming, my family, my kids. We have friends coming from L.A., from Austin. So it’s really exciting because a lot of these people didn’t get to see me in action.”

“I get tears in my eyes every time, How am I going to keep it together? I got to keep it together.”
