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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things.

I've always felt like every note of a song is of equal value.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.
