Lee Ann Womack Quotes

You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won’t.

With this album, I tried not to think too much. If I heard a song that I loved, I promised myself I wouldn’t over-think it. If I loved it and if I wanted to cut it, I would.

When you really are country, and you don’t just wear it like a piece of clothing or something, you really can’t get away from it. It just is who you are.

The satisfaction that I get from doing what I do is not what I thought. I thought it would be that I’d feel like a star, I’d feel important. But I don’t.

The satisfaction comes because you work hard and it pays off. It is not as glamorous as I thought it would be, but, you know, I appreciate it more than I ever knew I would, and I love it more than I ever knew I would.

So you do shorter versions of the hits, or you take out a long guitar solo or things like that to make time for the hits and new music as well. But I don’t think any of us ever get to do as much new music as we would like to.
