Laura Bell Bundy

“I had a very active imagination as a kid, and I was constantly performing, whether I was making money doing it or not, whether it was on a stage in front of 1,000 people or in the living room in front of my family.”

“I kinda went through a semi-depression. Honestly. Like, I lost myself.”

“'Hairspray' was a show I was involved in from the very first reading, and I was 19. And, 'Hairspray', was one of my favorite movies growing up.”

“I actually had a week where I literally wrote four songs and all of them are on my album. But sometimes you'll go a week where you'll write songs and they never see the light of day. So that process takes a long time.”

“There is definitely that thing here a little where people are like 'Oh that Broadway girl has come to Nashville' and I'm like 'Listen you guys, I was singing country before I even got a Broadway show. And I'm from Kentucky.'”

“I kept writing all these ballads; they're me speaking about life. But how am I gonna do the live show I wanna do if I don't have something I can dance to?”

“When I was really little, I listened to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrel, Crystal Gayle, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, and Patsy Cline.”

“I've always listened to and loved country music ever since I was a kid.”

“I feel really blessed to first of all have the opportunity to do music, and second of all to have it be going well.”

“I'm fearless, to a degree.”

“הייתי נוהגת לחקות מתמודדות בתחרויות יופי, ביצעתי את ההליכה שלהן.”

“תמיד הייתי ילדה יצירתית. יש לי שתי אחיות גדולות אבל הן היו מחוץ לבית כשגדלתי אז ביליתי הרבה זמן לבד, מה שאומר שדיברתי עם עצמי, ששרתי לעצמי, שיצרתי עולם בתוך הראש שלי. הפכתי לאדם בעל דמיון. ההורים שלי ראו את זה בי והכניסו אותי לשיעורי ריקוד ותיאטרון.”

“אני בלונדינית, אני אוהבת בגדים, אני אוהבת את החיים ואני נוטה לא לקחת את עצמי יותר מדי ברצינות – אף פעם, כל אישה צעירה תמצא משהו להתחבר אליו בסיפור של אל." ~ על הדמיון בינה לבין הדמות של אל וודס בסרט "לא רק בלונדינית”

“הייתי ילדה קטנה שלא יכלה להסיר את עינייה מלראות את קרול ברנט, או סרט מוזיקלי, ואז הפכתי לבוגרת שמעולם לא גדלה.”

“אני לא חושבת שאי פעם ארצה להפסיק להופיע.”

“I dropped the 'Bundy' with my country music because I wanted it to be two separate things: There's me as a songwriter and a country singer, and there's me as a Broadway performer.”

“I can't take the theater side out of myself.”

“What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was 'Hee Haw,' was 360 degrees of entertainment.”

“My father has a manufacturing company in Kentucky, and he's an electrical engineer. A brilliant man. A brilliant businessman. So he understands the business aspects of my business very well. My dad and I always communicate when I have to negotiate a deal.”

“It always amazes me when I see young people with raw talent and passion.”
