Zitat des Tages von Shelby Lynne:
I don't feel like taking anybody's money.
I can't tell you how freeing it is to have my own label. For the first time in my career, I have total control.
I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.
So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.
Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.
It is so killer to collaborate with someone who gets what you're trying to say.
I'd like to thank my parents for always stressing, be an individual.
I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
I was singing before I could talk.
I was raised in South Alabama in the woods, y'know? I'm country.
I wanted to be a rock 'n' roll star. It defines life for me. It's all I've ever imagined for myself.
I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.
I like strength. I depend on my own.
It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.
I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.
What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.
I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.
I like rules that are broken.
All I do is party.
Sometimes a song that didn't make one record will stay in my head for so long and just won't go away. I take that as a hint to keep 'em close and not forget about them.
I just don't conform very well.
I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.
I didn't go to college.
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
Sure I got a mouth on me.
I can't write about your pain; I only know my own.
My band can tell you, I'd rather do anything than rehearse.
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
You know, I'm trying to sometimes sit down and write some stories about my childhood and maybe one when I'm an old lady put them out like a book.
It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.
It's time for artists to take their music back.
I write about what I know.
The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.
If you think too much about something, you're not feeling it.
That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.
