Quote

The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.

The people I've been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity.
Amy Grant
Image
But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.
Amy Grant
Image
I think our culture encourages all of us to always put our best foot forward. I think it's a good thing. I think it's nice to rise to the occasion, to be kind and considerate, and have self control.
Amy Grant
Image
It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.

Image
I had the great advantage of a mother who used to tell me the most beautiful years of a woman's life are ages 35 to 45.
Amy Grant
Image
Come Christmas Eve, we usually go to my mom and dad's. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool, others are useful and some are a bit out there.
Amy Grant
Image
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.

The same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay.

Image
I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
Amy Grant
Image
I don't write songs that don't affect me on some level, because I figure if I am not moved by it, if its not something that I have a longing to celebrate or to be reminded of, if it doesn't affect me, then how can I possibly think it is going to affect somebody else. My touchstone is write something that matters.

Image
To me, the real thrill is in making the music, and then I just trust it to find its own audience, and at times it's big and at times it's small, but that's beyond my control.
Amy Grant
Image
Somebody who has been in a very bad wreck is going to be very conscientious about not speeding through a yellow light... You just learn so many good lessons when you go through a failed marriage.
Amy Grant
Image
There is not a formula for the way that God heals. There's not a timetable.
Amy Grant
Image
But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.
Amy Grant
Image
I know how it feels to go into a studio to start a record, and eight weeks later it's finished. I know how an intense schedule feels.
Amy Grant
Image
Its true. Im a simple person. Some people tend to live from trauma to trauma, and that energizes them. I have a hectic schedule, but my mind seeks simplicity - like being in nature, a long bike ride, or sitting on the back porch.

Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of.
Amy Grant
Image
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Image
The most consistent musical experience I had growing up was church music.
Amy Grant
Image
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
