Sara about sex in marriage, 10/2005: "It makes me so mad when women talk about hating having sex with their husbands. I think it's ridiculous. There are so many girls that get together and are like, "Oh, I'm just so tired, and I don't want to do it." He is practically begging the wife to have sex, and that is so common in marriage, especially after you have been married for more than five years. I just think, "Women, you have a responsibility to your men." I guarantee you, it will make your relationship great. Granted, hopefully you are married to a decent man. If you are married to a pig, now that's different."

Sara about writing songs, August 2003: "I was on tour while Craig was campaigning -- and I was so desperately missing him! Sometimes we would go two or three weeks without seeing each other. I just felt miserable without him. That's definitely where the song 'Tonight' came from. It was me writing and choosing these love songs to record. They're sort of sad, but very passionate because I was sad being so far away from Craig."
