“I would like to start acting, making movies.”

“My oldest sister was into Diana Ross and the Supremes, and my brother was into Led Zeppelin, and I listened to all of that, and then I'd be going to the Opry with my dad. So I was exposed to a lot of music. But the older I got, the more I started leaning toward the Opry.”

“It scares me how some people don't respect the paths that have been paved for us, and who they've been paved by. It scares me because I don't want it to lose the family oriented feeling and the feeling you get at the Grand Ole Opry listening to Jack Greene or Jim Ed Brown, and thinking, 'Yeah, this is what it's all about.'”

“There's not anybody physically or even mentally that would even compare with Keith Whitley. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my life, from his toes to the top of his hair.”

“My dad told me years ago, be sure you record what you love because the minute you record what you hate, that'll be your hit single and you'll have to sing it the rest of your life. So thank God I love 'Something in Red.'”

“We want to know other people are in pain, because that's what we relate to.”

“I'm the biggest hypochondriac you've ever seen in your life. When I get real stressed out, every little ache and pain I have is something major. If I've got a headache, it's a brain tumor; if I've got a chest pain, it's a heart attack.”

“Sad songs are what move people.”

“I've paid a lot of dues, learned a lot, seen people come and go, what to do and what not to do.”

“I get to hang with people that I make music with, people that I laugh with, people that I write with, and it's enjoyable to me.”

“I am such an admirer of the Bedell Guitars instruments and its stewardship to respect Mother Nature and every individual tree used to create its products.”

“The Opry is about sharing.”

“When I walk past Little Jimmy Dickens, he'll say, 'Hey Morgan!' Those are the moments you can't buy, when you're idols know your name and they mess with you and play jokes on you.”

“I love to perform. It's all I know.”

“My dad and mom took us to Canada. I loved it - the cool clean air, the green mountains and the Canadian accents. That trip is one of my favorite childhood memories as a family.”

“I've often said this - that you can get through a tragedy, and... you trudge on, but the pain never really goes away. And when you sing the songs about things that have happened, the pain surfaces and... it brings it all back.”

“I want to enjoy my husband and my home and my children.”

“I think when tragedies happen a lot of people go to therapy, psychiatrists, whatever, because they need to have someone to talk to. There's thousands of people a night that I get to talk to, by way of my music.”

“Richard Landis is a modern-day Mozart, almost.”

“I love Joe Galante. He gave me the shot in this business that no one else would give me. And I will always love Joe Galante. Always. Regardless of what comes tomorrow, a year from now, ten years from now. He, along with God, allowed me to make a lot of my dreams come true. And I'll always love Joe Galante for that.”
