Chely Wright
I could kiss you in the rain forever Turn all your pain to pleasure Fill up all your days with sunlight Make the passion last every night Give you my every possesion Make you my only obsession Climb up to the sky and pull down all the stars above But I could never love you enough

I hear the word 'tolerance'-tha t some people are trying to teach people to be tolerant of gays. I'm not satisfied with that word. I am gay, and I am not seeking to be 'tolerated'. One tolerates a toothache, rush-hour traffic, an annoying neighbor with a cluttered yard. I am not a negative to be tolerated.
Chely Wright
I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.
Chely Wright

Chely Wright
I'm very much a traditionalist, but I think it's important to know about tradition so that you can evolve the music you are deciding to make.
Chely Wright
I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.
Chely Wright
I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.
Chely Wright
Being born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in the very rural parts of Kansas led me to believe that everything was simple, everything made sense and that anything was possible.
