With The Key, it was, I had gone through a divorce and losing my father, and just kinda really reminiscing about how much I loved the traditional side of country music, so I made a record that was really traditional from start to finish.

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
It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.
Vince Gill
I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too.
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
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
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.

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 really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
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've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.
Vince Gill
A lot of people play to impress, but the really gifted ones play to move. That's the greatest point of ever doing this.
Vince Gill
Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there's an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.
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
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.

You can't define the ache that's in George's voice. It's just something inherently him. It doesn't need definition. It doesn't need clarification. It doesn't need a lot of things. You just sit back and appreciate it. It's just greatness.
Vince Gill
Whether it is successful or not is not the exercise for me. It is not up to me. It is out of my hands now. I am not going to in two years have hindsight and say I made a big mistake.
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
Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.
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.

I'm the guy who loves being in the supporting cast.
