Zitat des Tages von Reba McEntire:
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 always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled.
At this time when I turn 50, because so there's many of my friends and family who didn't get to see 50-years-old, and so, I'm celebrating for them too.
So, I took lessons, and I love to shoot now. It's a lot of fun.
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.
And so we were asleep there in San Diego. And our pilot called us. And his brother was on one of the other planes. And when he was leaving the airport, he saw in his rear view mirror that there was an explosion.
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.
Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.
Being a strong woman is very important to me. But doing it all on my own is not.
You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.
Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician.
To me, there's two types of songs, good and bad. And I just like to stick with the good ones.
Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.
I think it's a wonderful time for a woman.
Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.
When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.
I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.
I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.
Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.
I love to sing with different people.
When onstage, I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears, be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.
You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.
I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
I have talked to Debbie Hammond quite a bit, Jim Hammond's wife, his widow. I've seen their kids. And last time we played Dallas, a lot of them came over. It's hard for them to come see the show. It's still hard.
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.
Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.
So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn't like. And what they had an idea for, we didn't like. So, we went home.
But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.
I use all my skills that I can muster up, but the fun thing is that I find some untapped skills every once in a while. I get that from my daddy.
Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
I just love motherhood.
And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane.
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.
A good song has to have a great melody, and the lyrics have to touch my heart. Now, if it's just a little toe-tapper, got to make me feel good somehow or another, or when I sing it I can't make you feel good.
I love to wear boots - and shoes, I don't like at all.
