Jennifer Nettles Quotations

When we were at the CMT Awards this year, Robert Plant was there. What an icon, I love him... But I can't go up and speak to him, because I don't want to seem like a goob.

Less is more! I don't wear makeup if I don't have to.

I feel very grateful that I have never had to be or ever chosen to be or accidentally found myself to be in the space of the other woman.

We many times sell ourselves short, not only in relationships but throughout our own lives. Hopefully, we come around at some point and realize our own value.

I remember thinking, 'Downward dog' is so not a resting pose!' Now it actually can be.

My outfits also need to be low-key. I'm a huge fan of boots, sandals, jeans and tank tops! Anything I can move in easily.

Theater is definitely something that, through the course of my childhood and even in college, I enjoyed participating in. I would love to do theater, or as far as movies or television goes, if the right thing came along I would definitely entertain it.

I would love to be on 'Glee,' thus furthering the myth that I'm a gay man.

The Grammy is the highest honor in music that we can receive, outside of having fans come and watch you every night and clap.

I've actually performed at Gay Pride in Atlanta three times in my career. I've always had a large gay following, particularly in the lesbian community. I am grateful for that. To me, it means my music transcends categories. It also means that I'm a cute girl singing a rock song in an alto voice!

I have this thing for British women. I love Judi Dench. I love Helen Mirren. I love these women, and I definitely do have big girl crushes on them.

For my whole career, I've been a singer-slash-songwriter, even though I'm very thankfully known for my voice. Songwriting has always been a joy in my life, and to be recognized for it is extremely validating.

I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?

Well, obviously, I'm not allowed to speak about the legal battles, but I love lesbians.

I'm always dreaming and doing.

Art is not disposable.

If someone is genuine, compassionate and kind, that is a turn-on. A sense of humor is a huge turn on, and that goes hand in hand with intelligence.

I really enjoy just hanging out at my house since I never get to be there.

Love wins. Sleep is a healer. Loved ones are sacred.

I have always loved and continued to love Johnny Depp. Period. End of story.

As with most physical activity, yoga helps boost your immune system. However, it also stretches and strengthens your body simultaneously, while also balancing your mind and spirit. It benefits the whole human.

I had a friend write me that our music was being played at Gay Pride in New York, which is a big compliment. In the biggest city in the country with the most culture and the most grit - I love it.

A good walk every day does wonders for my soul.

If you are brave enough to be yourself, I think that is a huge risk and should be applauded.

George Jones and I happen to share the same birthday. The first and only time I met him (which I believe was at the Opry if my memory serves me), I told him that. His response, 'You must be trouble.' Takes one to know one, I am so proud to say. George, his music and his mischievous trouble, will all be missed. He is a country legend.

I believe that happiness is something we create

Salt water is cleansing, be it sweat, the ocean, or tears.

As far as actresses go, I love Meryl Streep.

You just kind of go and do your own thing. Sometimes it's really hard to compare apples and oranges, so you don't really think of it that way. You just perform to your fullest potential and hope everybody else does too. And however it works out, it works out.

Don’t ever sell yourself short. Stand tall. Never be ashamed of who you are. You are beautiful, you are loved. You are needed. You are worth it. Promise me you won’t forget that. Promise me you won’t let your scars define who you are. Let your trials shape you. Let your victories humble you.

I definitely think that, for a woman, the biggest turn-on is the mind. Otherwise, obviously you want someone who keeps up with himself and has self-respect and self-confidence.
