More quotes by Eric Church
I think a lot of times, artists and albums can become formulaic. You're known for a certain thing, and you continue to do that. You just change the subject matter, but it's the same song. And that's what you do.
Eric Church
It's always the roughest path, but I think it's got the most reward at the end.
Eric Church
I don't care if I starve.
Eric Church
There's just a lot of people that hold on to what country means to them. I love fiddle, I love steel, but I don't think it should be a rule that it has to be used in every song. I think that's not what defines or makes country music.
Eric Church
The best advice I've been given is kind of the dance with the one who brought you thing. You got here on what you do so don't change that.
Eric Church
When you play the bars, you pay your dues. It does matter that you know those things [songs]. And the great thing for me, too, is that I draw on that stuff as influences. It's also stuff that you put in the tank that you pull from to make records.
Eric Church
Now me and my brother go to see him some times but he don't have much to say anymore. So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D. Here's to a long line of sinners like me.
Eric Church
I don't use the big video screens that a lot of other artists use because personally, I think it's kind of a crutch. I think sometimes it's like watching television as opposed to really getting involved with what is happening onstage and the people in your section.
Eric Church
I'd trusted my fan base, I'd trusted the my gut, and I'd trusted the music. ...the real experts are out there in front of you every night. They're the ones buying the tickets and coming to the shows. They're the professionals in this business, and they're the only ones who can tell you which songs have the ability to move them.
Eric Church
The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.
Eric Church
I can't stand making records.
Eric Church
The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.
Eric Church
I'm going to do everything I can to keep from being mainstream.
Eric Church
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory.
Eric Church
When I first started, you could go to a college campus and it was not cool to wear a country artist's shirt on campus. It was taboo, and there was a stigma involved. In the time from then till now, I'm amazed at how much things have changed. It's young now, it's cool, it's hip
Eric Church
We're all given a window of opportunity, I think all artists are, of any genre. A window when you're truly relevant, the spotlight's on you and people are watching what you do.
Eric Church
I wouldn't be the man I am today, If not for those I've loved along the way
Eric Church
I'm not a guy who can go in and go, Hey, are we doing right or wrong? I just do it. And whatever it is, it is.
Eric Church
Stay young and wild as long as you can
Eric Church
Many people have come to think they can just wake up and have things handed to them.
