Lee Womack Quotations

There are people in this genre who are extremely territorial. I can't quite put my finger on who that group is made up of. But it's not the purists. I'm a purist. I'm a die-hard country music person.

I felt like as a listening audience they were a little more receptive and not quite so jaded. They really seem to appreciate having something different.

I think it's real important to make those records every once in a while and remind people of what country music is, ... The roots where it came from, where we got what we have. This is sort of a throwback to Dolly, George Jones, Merle Haggard. That's my favorite kind of music. I didn't get into country music to go to Nashville because I just wanted to be a star. I went there because I had such a passion for that kind of music.

I wonder what that must feel like, to have written a true classic that's been covered by so many people.

I thought it would be nice if I got one or two. Everything after that was just icing on the cake.

With a stroke of the pen, they have changed my life forever.

To me it just seems like there's a lot of everything in New York. ... I know that when I've played there, I've always felt like, it isn't that people are necessarily looking for country music as just for good music.

These are songs that aren't afraid to tell the truth. They are exactly like a slice of life; you get the good, bad and the ugly. It is definitely honest music.

These are songs that aren't afraid to tell the truth. It is honest music, as far as the lyrics go. They're a slice of life -- the good, bad and the ugly. It's the kind of stuff I grew up listening to.

I've adjusted my material a little bit to fit in with what Toby has going. We are having a blast. It's working great.

Sometimes I think we are scared of real country music but a message like what was in that song, that transcends any boundaries, and a great song is a great song, ... I May Hate Myself.

Things change so much in this business from one year to the next, from one project to the next, ... I tell everybody I watched the show last year from my couch at home in my pajamas.

Again, most of my favorite bands are playing the show so it's going to be good for me. Just like always, I'm going to sit back and have a good time.

I'm going to be doing a song that I wrote from my new album. It's called, 'Twenty Years And Two Husbands Ago,' ... Those are my favorite kind of songs. I think that's what sets country music apart from a lot of other genres. It's stuff about real life.

I knew it was going to be fabulous. It's definitely something I would wear.

I May Hate Myself in the Morning' is essentially a country booty-call song. It couldn't be more different from 'I Hope You Dance' (which was about her two daughters). But I'm a grown woman, and a lot of women are grappling with these issues.

If you are listening to music that doesn't touch you, that doesn't mean anything to you, tune into your country music station,

If you're listening to music that doesn't touch you, tune into your country station, ... We have songs that speak to your life. We have songs that speak to your heart.

I remember hearing that song when I was a little girl, and I was so moved by the images it stirred up. I have been a huge fan of hers forever.
