“We all know there are some major problems in the music industry. Every new act signs a bad deal.”
“I was just oblivious to the fact that the country scene was socially backward and politically opposite of everything I am.”
“I wouldn't have been in the mind-set to do another 'Fly.'”
“I was concerned about being 40 and for my 40th birthday my wish was to go see Cher, and I got to meet her.”
“We were the ones that from the beginning said that 'Wide Open Spaces' was a hit. 'This is a hit, people are going to relate to it.'”
“Any time the Chicks want to play, that takes precedence, because we can make a lot of money.”
“We don't mind if people think we've come from nowhere. Because once they've become fans, they'll delve deeper in and will be surprised to find we've been around awhile and that we've had a lot of experience doing this.”
“I love watching live music. It's one of the reasons I love living in Austin, Texas, because there is so much live music.”
“I want our fans to get their money's worth. If they are going to spend $40 to come to a show, it has to be good, from beginning to end. I like razzle-dazzle; we all do.”
“You've got to live your life first and do your job second.”
“I think you first have to feel 100% comfortable with the person that you are with. I have written in sessions where I am just meeting the person for the first time and it is extremely difficult.”
“I'd love my kids to get into music, but I want them to understand the commitment involved. I don't want them to look on 'American Idol' as the way to become famous.”
“Everyone has their own opinion about what should be on the radio and I think there's room for all different people.”
“We write constantly. It's nice to have more to pick from and we pitch songs to other artists, so it's not always songs for us.”
“If you're making $10 an hour and you're doing your job and you're doing it well and your check is consistently $8.75 an hour, who wouldn't stand up for themselves?”
“When you get a record deal, you got to be pretty headstrong, know your direction.”
“I think our core fans have stayed true to us, and I want to thank them for staying with us.”
“I love the tone of old, non-amplified, real acoustic fiddles, and Wood Violins are the closest thing I have found to that sound. They play beautifully!”
“I think people in the public eye have a problem - they can have security issues.”
“We love performing, we love touring.”
