Tanya Tucker

“Words are not even within me. They're not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.”

“Well, I don't throw things. This particular night I brought one from the floor so to speak, and he ended up getting a cut over his head, and the police came, took him to another side of the hotel, and that was like September 6, 1981.”

“It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.”

“Well, you know, certain - for one reason, I think that the intervention process is a good process for most people, but for me, it just looked like a bunch of my friends trying to get back at me and sit around taking jabs at me, you know, when I couldn't defend myself.”

“I'd like to do a Christmas album. I've never done a Christmas album.”

“I would much rather be a better mother or better human being than I would be a singer. Fortunately for me singing makes me a living.”

“Everybody has problems.”

“We live on a 500-acre ranch, beautiful ranch.”

“He does all research now, but he put me on some medication, Zoloft, and, I tell you what, a lot of people have had pros and cons about it, but it was my wonder drug.”

“And as long as people want to hear me sing, I don't know why I'd retire.”

“But the main thing is that medication, too, is not all the help.”

“By the time I get done with my fans and my music and my kids and my family and my fiance and my horses, well, they suffer too, but, I don't really have much time left to do anything else.”

“The best thing is being able to perform in front of people and to express my feelings, whatever they may be at the time. Just to be able to make the world a happier place to be.”

“We've got great fans that rock and roll won't have, because you can have a one-hit record and country music used to, not so much anymore and you have a fan forever.”

“I have an unending desire to be better and make myself a better person, better mother.”

“Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.”

“The more people told me that, you know, wow, you should be so blessed. Don't you feel blessed? And you have all this - mansion and all these beautiful things. And I said, you know - the more they told me that, the more depressed I got.”

“I don't think I was really addicted. I used it as a party tool.”

“I do enjoy making videos, even though they are long days and very hard work.”

“There's no way to be able to tell what it's like to be a country singer until you're walking in the shoes.”
