Reba McEntire

“I totally love to act. I don't care if it's a musical, a comedy. I just like to work and interact with other people.”

“You don't waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.”

“I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.”

“So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they're going to come see you, and if they don't, and if you're kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won't come see you.”

“That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. You can do a very eclectic group of songs. You do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. You have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.”

“Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician.”

“You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.”

“I just try not to judge. Don't judge me, and I won't judge you.”

“Being sexy is kind of funny to me. You know, I can get kind of spunky or I can get tough, you know, that kind of tough, sexy look. But sexy? No, I don't think so.”

“I treat myself pretty good. I take lots of vacations, I eat well, I take supplements, I do mercury detox, I get plenty of sleep, I drink plenty of water and I stay away from drama and stress.”

“I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.”

“I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.”

“I have the attention span of a 2-year-old. I like to jump from project-to-project.”

“I always wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a movie star.”

“I love to sing with different people.”

“You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.”

“When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.”

“It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.”

“For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.”

“The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time, and then I speak it, it's amazing how the light shines so much brighter.”
