I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.

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

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.

Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.

I do not like being famous. I like being normal.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Through music you learn not to care about the color of someone's skin.

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

I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.

I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.
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 last two records that I made were both quite pointed in one direction and I think I do my best stuff when it's all over the map, when there's a couple traditional things, a couple pretty rocking things.
Vince Gill
Image
I am responsible for me. I can kind of take care of what I need to do and should do what I like to do.

Whether I'm making my own record, or playing a guitar part, I want what I do to have an impact.

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

I don't want to impress somebody, I want to move somebody. Say the most with the least.
