“If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capi...” — Garth Brooks Quote

“If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.”

“I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.”

“There's a difference between knowing what's on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys.”

“A stuffy Capitol Hill hearing room differs quite a bit from the wide open, rural landscape of Louisa County, Va.”

“At the White House, everybody works for the same person. They're all part of the same company. But on Capitol Hill, they're all independent contractors. They all work for themselves. That's a formula for getting news.”

“I had to beg to get out of my contract with Capitol. They wanted me to work with big producers. I wanted to produce my music, and they weren't having that. I'm sure they were happy to let me go. I just didn't want to do what they wanted me to do.”
