The real beauty of it - key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.

More quotes by Vince Gill
I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.
Vince Gill
When you lose people that are close to you it brings everything into focus, and the rest kind of gets put on the back burner.
Vince Gill
The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.
Vince Gill
I never aspired to be up front. When I was a kid, I didn't ever look in the mirror with a hairbrush going, Hey, I'm Elvis!
Vince Gill
It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.
Vince Gill
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Vince Gill
The real amazing thing about all of this is I think I've maintained the mentality of a musician throughout it all, which I'm proudest of. And I'm still playing on people's records and singing on people's records.
Vince Gill
And from my place, and from the time that I went through my divorce, I also had my father pass away in the middle of all that. And it kind of made everything else just kind of like the back burner, you know.
Vince Gill
I had just lost my dad and I remembered all the songs we used to go and hear at concerts, and the records around the house and sometimes we'd play together.
Vince Gill
We all get caught up in the process, especially when you have a wave of success. But to me, being creative is not about rehashing everything you've done over and over. It's to continue to grow, continue to get better.
Vince Gill
It would be fun to go back and see where all my songs stopped, because I think I'd have every number in the top 100. It never ceases to amaze me. It still hurts when one doesn't work, because you put your heart and soul into it.
Vince Gill
My mom said, What I want is a happy kid, not a rich kid. That's what I root for. She saw how much joy I got from playing music, and those years were leaner than lean!
Vince Gill
It is not that I don't like contemporary country music because I do. I love it. I have recorded a lot and have had great success recording records that have not been very traditional country records.
Vince Gill
I would love to hear someone write a song like 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' rather than 'You're hot. I'm hot. We're in a truck.' It's just mind-numbing to me.
Vince Gill
It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
Vince Gill
I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.
Vince Gill
Even when I'm touring, I feel like a sideman ... everybody's working together. We get to play longer solos it's not just Here's the record! Thank you for coming Goodnight ... it has always had a band feel instead of being a singer and his backup band.
Vince Gill
Everything I've done feels like I'm just as much a part of it as if I was the producer. It's still the same job: all of us together figuring out the common good for a song. That's the only thing that matters. It's not like, I'm the boss, and I'm gonna tell you what to play.
Vince Gill
So I didn't have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.
Vince Gill
I don't want to impress somebody, I want to move somebody. Say the most with the least.
Vince Gill
