Vince Gill

Famous quotes by Vince Gill:

"When all is said and done the only thing you'll have left is your character."

"Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character."

"Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye,"

"I revere this place more than any other. It's a mecca of so much, of all our histories."

"The biggest disservice you can do to an instrument is to lock it away. Collectors will buy these instruments and put them in glass cases. They never get played and they lose their soul."

"I wrote that song,"

"That's the beauty of this mandolin. It's the Holy Grail. Most musicians think it's in the New Testament. And it ought to be."

"[Gill also related how, in a fit of anger against Gibson, Monroe took a pocketknife and gouged out the company's nameplate.] That's the beauty of this mandolin, ... It's the Holy Grail. Most musicians think it's in the New Testament. And it ought to be."

"[Gill was the final inductee in an evening that ran long because of rambling introductions, excessive performances and pause-plagued acceptance remarks.] I would like to keep this slightly brief, ... I'd like to have kept the whole evening briefer. Amy's going to be leaving town tonight for a week, and I thought I might get lucky before the bus left."

"It is altogether fitting that we undertake this salute to Earl and Louise Scruggs. For decades, following in the tradition of Ralph Peer and Jimmie Rodgers, or Fred Rose and Hank Williams, they have formed one of country music's most productive musical and business partnerships. The path they have forged is very much in keeping with our Museum philosophy, which encourages an open-ended, broad-minded interpretation of the country music story."

"You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things."

"It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am."
