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.

More quotes by 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
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
I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.
Vince Gill
I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.
Vince Gill
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.
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
This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It's what I perceive as country music is about.
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
It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.
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
I'm a musician, so for the most part I've always thought that the musicians were equally as inspiring to listen to - maybe more so, in some cases - in addition to the artists.
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
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
Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.
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
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
I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.
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
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.
