Zitat des Tages von Garth Brooks:
Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.
I believe in the 'Wal-Mart' school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.
Doing new stuff live is tough just simply because I pay my money, I stand in my seats, and I see the guys I love. And if I paid that ticket, there's a good chance that I'm there to hear the stuff that made me fall in love with 'em - we call it the 'old stuff.'
In our house, everyone's opinion is welcome. I grew up in a house where everything wasn't when it came to politics or religion.
I can take the steel guitars and fiddles off, we can make it a little more pop, cover ideas that are a little less cowboy. But you got to look at yourself in the mirror and ask, whose flag you are under? For Garth Brooks, I'm steel, fiddles, red, white and blue.
The guys have told me not to quit my day job.
Any time I'm in a moving thing, like an airplane, I'm usually asleep before we even get on our way.
The dads across the soccer field looked at me as a dad just like them. And I was very grateful.
What I love about 'Midnight Train' is that it's a song about a journey, but the music actually takes you on that journey. It feels like you're moving through the whole song.
I got an offer in 1992 to buy a major-league team. I turned down the offer because I don't want my love of the game to involve business.
Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!
Nashville, there's people that are ten times more talented than me, ten times better singer than me, song writer than me, but for some reason you get the ball, and now - and now you run with it. And you do the best you can.
I live my life by these little church signs you see as you drive around, and there's one near me that says, 'If we really knew each other, we would neither idolise nor condemn.' And that's it: if we all knew each other, then we wouldn't treat anybody any different. And there wouldn't be any big stars, I guess.
I'd like to think a baseball picture is somewhere in my future.
Whatever I do, I hope it's quality, I hope it's something that's class.
I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
Awards are for young people. They just are.
I want to get within myself and write. I really, really want to write.
The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.
You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.
True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
I'm gonna stay an album guy. In fact, concept albums are really blowing my mind right now, because if you want to promote an album, think about it - a concept album might be the way to go.
No matter what you say you might do, you never really know until you're in the moment. Every situation is so different.
That smell of freshly cut grass makes me think of Friday night football in high school. The smell of popcorn and cigar smoke reminds me of the stadium. The cutting of the grass reminds me of the August practice.
I've been taking batting practice in my barn where nobody can see me, so I may be better than anyone thinks.
I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.
I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
If the artists would just keep hammering away - unify, stick together - then music will become the king again, which is what it should be.
I'm very square and proud of it. The flag stays on the porch here.
I'm a big movie fan. After a show, if I'm on the bus or a plane, it's often hard to get to sleep, so I'll watch a film. An action film can even relax me.
As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
You know me, I've got to find some way to get a fresh fire.
Don't change a thing. That's one of the best gimmicks a band could ever come up with.
