Dwight Yoakam Quotes

Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It’s really, truly, rural white America’s blues Picture Quote #1

Only beginning to present itself over the horizon Picture Quote #1

A voice expressing emotion in a musical way moves on. It’s like the finale of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - the world turns in on itself, as a universe unto itself, in the shape of one human being Picture Quote #1

But that is a valid, continuing service that that music - which is, in some cases, 80 or 90 years old - is rendering. And proving its own timelessness Picture Quote #1

I think actors are at the mercy of the opportunities presented to them. So you kind of have to wait for them to choose you. My music is insular - I can choose that Picture Quote #1

We started shooting, and then Jodie found out she was pregnant. Forest broke it to me - he’d gone to work and heard it on the radio! It seemed like the movie was doomed. But, like these characters, there was a disregard for all the signs along the way Picture Quote #1

I can’t escape being born in Pike County, Kentucky, grandson of a miner, Luther Tibbs, and his wife, Earlene, and traveling as a child up and down Route 23 between Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio, where I was raised, experiencing life via working-class people. Nor do I want to escape Picture Quote #1

Music’s the one thing I try not to analyze. I don’t want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me Picture Quote #1

It’s meant to reaffirm the validity of that music - clean, minimalist, honest, classic music Picture Quote #1

I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me Picture Quote #1

My music is very personal. I’ve created it in solitude. I face a white wall and beller. I like that sound - the expression of loneliness. That’s what it’s all about Picture Quote #1

I think that we come to a greater understanding of the world we live in and ourselves through reading Picture Quote #1

To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It’s the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it’s the rocket fuel for the track Picture Quote #1

My parents were not affluent people and were not - didn’t come from the extremities of education. My mother had a high school diploma. I often think I so wish she’d come out of the hills in Appalachia and been able to go on to college. I think she would have made a wonderful teacher Picture Quote #1

When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of expression Picture Quote #1

I don’t regret any of the musical decisions I have made Picture Quote #1

I embrace country music because of love, a love of what I came from Picture Quote #1

I like order. It allows me to have chaos in my head Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts Picture Quote #1

Musicians exist independent of any of the marketing terms or the categorization Picture Quote #1

The future has a lot to do with the past Picture Quote #1

We share something in common with the fabric of the whole universe that connects us Picture Quote #1

Control success before it controls you Picture Quote #1

To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It’s the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it’s the rocket fuel for the track Picture Quote #1

M really proud of it. To me, it’s a movie about character behavior and the pecking order of the pack, as well as the central character’s massive survival guilt Picture Quote #1

Fortunately any of the songs we’ve recorded can be extremely fulfilling to perform depending on the variety of circumstances that surround any given show Picture Quote #1

The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That’s what I do Picture Quote #1

In the dark morning silence, I placed a gun to her head. She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead Picture Quote #1

Music’s the one thing I try not to analyze. I don’t want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me Picture Quote #1

I’ll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am Picture Quote #1
