Brad Paisley Life Quotations

Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.

When I made 'Who Needs Pictures,' my first album, I had been west of the Mississippi River one time in my life, and that was in fourth grade. We traveled to California for vacation and stayed with some friends of my parents. It was culture shock, and it was different.

My life would be very puzzling to most people if they had to follow me around for a day or two.

My father's a firefighter. He was my whole life. And my brother-in-law and several family members are firefighters.

You can't kill it with goodbye; It always finds a place to hide inside your heart for your whole life. Love is never-ending.

Unless you're a true prodigy, you're going to have to practice for a while being bad before you get any good. And it will seem like a waste of time. I remember that feeling well. But don't worry about wasting time, because it'll be so worth it. It's my experience that in the end, life lessons and guitar lessons begin to blur in all sorts of interesting ways.

It should feel a lot like my other albums that way, in that it's a progression and there are different themes and you go from one topic to another and it feels a little bit like a life journey, I think.
