Image
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
Image
There ain't no future in the past.
Vince Gill
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Whether I'm making my own record, or playing a guitar part, I want what I do to have an impact.
Vince Gill
Image
I've never been in the studio where it felt like I didn't have a voice. Whether I was co-producing or producing by myself, this community is the one place where I really see democracy at its purest.
Vince Gill
Image
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
Image
I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.
Vince Gill
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.
Vince Gill
Image
I do not like being famous. I like being normal.
Vince Gill
Image
I'm the guy who loves being in the supporting cast.
Vince Gill
Image
At the end of the day, all people want to do is hear a great singer sing a great song. They don't care about what vocal changes it went through. You can't screw up a great song and a great singer.
Vince Gill
Image
I don't want to impress somebody, I want to move somebody. Say the most with the least.
Vince Gill
Image
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

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
Image
When you ask a songwriter, What's your favorite song? he goes, The next one.
Vince Gill
Image
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

Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.
