“Here's the good thing about it: I don't have to depend on some jerk disc jockey whose wife doesn't like me, and has threatened him not to play my songs. That is the honest-to-God truth. That's it in a nutshell. The fans don't have to go through a disc jockey or a radio station that loves me, or that doesn't like me. They can download the music.”
“Secretaries don't take their kids to work; why should I?”
“Walk a mile in my shoes, then come tell me how to live my life.”
“Country music fans aren't stupid. I'm not stupid.”
“My dad named me that before anybody knew anything about the other Loretta Lynn. She hadn't even put a record out yet.”
“I sing what I want to sing and, if in the middle of the show I feel like doing a Frank Sinatra song, I will, but for the most part my show is a country show.”
“I tell a lot of jokes. Most of the jokes just happen to come; they're not planned jokes. I like when people laugh with me and have fun at the shows.”
“Interviews aren't hard to do, just time consuming that's all.”
“I think the tabloids have become utterly ridiculous. When they just write on pure speculation, that's pretty sick.”

“I grew up with three older sisters and an older brother.”
“If I could do acoustic shows for the rest of my life, that's fine with me. They require the right venues, small theaters or little bars. You can't take an acoustic show to a big ol' country music festival. It's more intimate, like being in my living room.”
“Women need a lot of understanding, and they need songs to help them express themselves.”
“I have been a daughter, a bride, a mother, a divorcee, a widow, a single mother, a grandmother, a breadwinner, and, ultimately a survivor.”
“To be real, you have to sing about what you feel, and you have to be true to your fans.”
“Nashville has gotten so big and too technical and too polished.”
“Once a redneck always a redneck.”
“I had a lot of higher-up people tell me, 'You need to act such-and-such a way and go out to this club and that club and be seen with these certain people.'”
“Every Tom, Dick and Harry is making records. They have one hit and are gone forever.”
“He was not only instrumental in giving me the confidence I needed as an artist, but through the years he has given many other up-and- coming stars the confidence and true grit they have acquired by loving and listening to the music of Keith Whitley.”
