Rodney Atkins Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Rodney Atkins:

You can hear some artists, hear five of their albums and still have no idea who they are. But if you've heard most of what I've recorded, you know me. You go from 'Honesty' to 'Going Through Hell' - you can listen to the hits, and they pretty much reflect who I am. 'Take a Back Road' is the same thing.

You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner.

If I spent the rest of my life getting even with the people that had helped me out, I would never settle the score.

When you're adopted, no matter what, you've got issues with unconditional love. And you find out you're the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life, and I'm so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation.

I grew up playing music and enjoying good food, friends and family in my own backyard.

Rodney Atkins

You may not know it, but I was adopted as a baby by my wonderful parents, Allan and Margaret Atkins of Cumberland Gap, Tenn.

Rodney Atkins

My family and I are just regular folks, just trying to get through the day and do the best you can and pay the bills, and that's who we're singing to.

Rodney Atkins

There's nothing special about me. Nothing has come easy.

Right now my favorite TV show - because it's too close to home - is 'My Name Is Earl.' That show kills me. There's some funny stuff in there.

But I have vertigo... I lose my equilibrium easily. I can lean out to look at something and just keep leaning and not realize I'm about to fall.

Rodney Atkins

The way I started playing music was sitting around with friends and singing songs. I love good ol' fashioned guitar pulls.

Rodney Atkins

I started out singing covers. I've sung a lot of 'em and love a lot of 'em.

Rodney Atkins

I don't take a second for granted of the honor of representing country music.

There's a book called 'The Shack' - it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal.

Rodney Atkins

I think my songs are singing to the rural heart. It's not whether you're from a big city or the middle of nowhere in a small town.

Rodney Atkins

Every song you're trying to find something that going to connect in different ways but for me the songs that I'm really drawn to are inspirational, songs that lift you and that everybody can relate to no matter where you're from.

Rodney Atkins

I don't want to sing songs that aren't worth while. Time is so rare. I just don't want to waste the listener's time and I think that my songs don't do that. That's what I pray for. I want songs that really touch people's hearts.

Rodney Atkins

When I did 'The Tonight Show' and Jay Leno was still there, he was very nice but it was surreal. It's like you can't believe you're standing there talking to that person. If you've seen them in a lot of movies or on TV you feel like you know them, just like my fans feel like they know me.
