More quotes by Valerie June
When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Europe, to go to Africa, to go traveling.
Valerie June
I don't even want to call it God. I just want to call it connecting with something that's greater than I am. So that's the biggest thing from Tennessee - the spirit.
Valerie June
I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.
Valerie June

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.

Valerie June
I'm grateful that music has been a place where I've found freedom.
Valerie June
Even from when I was in grade school or church or wherever, I was always like: we're one, and we should respect each other and grow as one. And respect each other's diversity, of course.
Valerie June
I mean, roots musicians - we can get old, you know? We can get up there and wear overalls and deliver the songs, we don't have to look any certain way.
Valerie June
Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.
Valerie June
Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.
Valerie June
I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.
Valerie June
I can't believe the ignorance there, so I don't allow it to affect my life, I don't allow it to come into my zone, and it's not in my world, really.
Valerie June
When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.
Valerie June
I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.
Valerie June
I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here! And Memphis is like, Well, you'll get there one day!
