Quote

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!

It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
Vince Gill
Image
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
Image
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
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 don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.

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
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.
Vince Gill
Image
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
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've always felt like every note of a song is of equal value.

When I look back, I don't remember the best of the best. I don't remember arena shows with 20,000 people. I remember funky little bar gigs where nobody shows up. The weirdest of the weird are what you retain.

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