Chris Stapleton Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Chris Stapleton:

Among my dad's generation, when you gave another man a pocketknife as a gift, it was a show of respect. I'll still give someone the knife out of my pocket.

I grew up in eastern Kentucky, and we would sing in the churches, and there's lots of good mountain church singers out there. Like a lot of folks who turn out to be secular music artists, that's a lot of the training you put in, whether you know it or not.

Chris Stapleton

I like to fish. I collect pocketknives. I inherited a nice collection from my father and grandfather.

Chris Stapleton

We have that storytelling history in country and bluegrass and old time and folk music, blues - all those things that combine to make up the genre. It was probably storytelling before it was songwriting, as far as country music is concerned. It's fun to be a part of that and tip the hat to that. You know, and keep that tradition alive.

Among my dad's generation, when you gave another man a pocketknife as a gift, it was a show of respect. I'll still give someone the knife out of my pocket.

Chris Stapleton

I'm not a hustler. I don't pitch songs. I don't ask people to write with me. It's not what I do.

Chris Stapleton

I moved to Nashville to be a songwriter. I found out that was a job, that someone would pay you to sit in a room with a guitar and make up songs! It is the greatest job in the world. I wrote three or four songs a day. That's what I lived for.

Chris Stapleton

As long as people are buying music, it's good for everybody.

Chris Stapleton

It's nice to see people invest in what you do as an artist and sing the songs back at you and feel something. You get to feel something more than what you were feeling when you made the record.

Chris Stapleton

I'm a fan of polarization. If you make something that is palatable to everybody, it's like making vanilla ice cream, and I think we have enough of that.

Chris Stapleton

I like all kinds of music. But I would rather people stop caring about lines.

Chris Stapleton

I always tell people, 'The music's free. I get paid to travel.'

Chris Stapleton

I get tired of people trying to dog out the radio for not playing this or that. There are lots of people who like what they play - otherwise, they wouldn't play it.

Chris Stapleton

I like to put something on and want to listen to it again once I get done listening to it, not feel like I need an ear break.

Chris Stapleton

I went to college a little bit, and that didn't work out, and I didn't finish. So, I would play in bars until I ran out of money, and then I'd get a real job.

Chris Stapleton

I think it's OK if somebody likes my music and likes Sam Hunt's music, too. And I think if we're both selling records, it's good for everybody. I think it allows other records to get made.

Chris Stapleton

I'm not going to ask musicians to sit there and pretend to play. It feels insulting to the musicians to me.

Chris Stapleton

I don't look at family and what I do for a living as separate things. They're all kind of one thing, and this is part of their life just like it's part of mine.

Chris Stapleton

I grew up less than a mile from folks that lived in shacks with dirt floors. I certainly know that there are needs in this country. Not too far from your house, if you look around, people need to be helped.

Chris Stapleton

I think, at some point, all of us - I'm gonna speak personally, not for everybody else - you're gonna feel like a one-trick pony, and you might even be a one-trick pony. But at some point, if it's a really good trick, everybody's still gonna appreciate it.

Chris Stapleton

You always hope for the best when you put something out and try to make the best music you can make, but you can't control what happens after that.

Chris Stapleton

If I'm feeling like rock, we'll do some of that, and if I'm feeling some other way, we might do some of that. So, that's typically how I record and write and play music and anything else.

Chris Stapleton

Everybody's got a story on their beards. I guess it's just a way of finding common ground with people you otherwise might not know.

Chris Stapleton

The first time you listen to someone else's interpretation of what you've created, it's a little unnerving. They'll change lyrics or something almost every time. That's them being an artist, and you appreciate it more over time.

Chris Stapleton

I like things that don't sound particularly processed or mechanical or made by machines. I like music that contains human elements, with all their flaws. There's air in it, and you can hear a room of a bunch of guys playing. Those are the magic parts.

Chris Stapleton

I can pass myself off as a 'Duck Dynasty' impersonator a lot.

Chris Stapleton

My dad was a very straight arrow, prayed-at-every-meal kind of guy.

Chris Stapleton

I always like to write the songs, and they get turned loose into the world, and who knows what happens to them. That's the joy of being a songwriter. You get to hear what other people do, interpretation-wise.

Chris Stapleton

I like to put a record on and then listen to it again and then sit down and make my friends listen to it.

Chris Stapleton

Anybody who has ever played in bars has played 'Keep Your Hands to Yourself.' It's a monumental piece of rock & roll. It makes you feel exactly like rock & roll is supposed to make you feel.

Chris Stapleton

I never was a liner note junkie. I didn't know who produced records or there was such a thing as a straight songwriter. I always assumed that everybody that was singing a song wrote it or made it up.

Chris Stapleton

I used to spend my money on going to Tom Petty concerts.

Chris Stapleton

I like places that have history in the sense of - you feel responsible to it.

Chris Stapleton

Everybody gets through a phase where it's, 'Ah, if I could just sound just like Vince Gill.' Then you figure out that you have your own voice, whether you like it or not, and that's what you should stick with.

Chris Stapleton

I like more of the club mentality, where we're playing, and if we feel like we want to play a cover, we'll switch to that.

Chris Stapleton

Why would you want to dictate somebody else's taste or happiness? Music is supposed to be joyful and move people, and however that gets accomplished for different people, it's all good.

Chris Stapleton

It's such a strange marriage, a song and someone that sings it. When that works, it really works, and when it doesn't, it doesn't.
