A biography for George Straithasn’t been written yet.
“Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.”
“This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.”
“I've always thought that whether I'm writing or not, I've gotta pick the best songs, whether or not they're mine. I'm not gonna sing them just because I wrote them. I've gotta find the best songs to make the best record I can.”
“Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.”
“I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.”
“We work hard when we're in the studio, but then when we take our breaks, we walk outside and look around.”
“Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time.”
“I'm going to write, and after two years, when I've quit touring, if a special event comes up that I want to do, by all means I will do it, but as far as a structured tour goes, at the last date of 2014 goes, that will be it for touring.”
“Life is not breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.”
“I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.”
“I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you're gone.”
“I've always liked Frank Sinata and Big Band music.”
“You've got to keep the stage world and your real world separated or you're headed for trouble.”
“I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.”
