I grew up listening to Patsy Cline. I was a huge Patsy Cline fan. I still am. Even though she's considered country, I think of her more as a blues singer. She's got a great blues voice, and she has such an amazing story, which I always loved.
She's got her God and she's got good wine, Aretha Franklin, and Patsy Cline.
I think Patsy Cline made country music classy. She just opens her mouth, and it's just heavenly.
When I was a kid my Dad never let me sing Patsy Cline songs for one simple reason: they've already been done.
I am a Patsy Cline fan.
When I first came out with Blue, everyone compared me to Patsy Cline, which is the biggest honor, 'cause I've always looked up to her.
Right after college, I got really into St. Vincent. She just is so cool and out there. I think that's super-inspiring. And tone and mood-wise, I just love Patsy Cline and Ray Charles.
My mom had a tape of Patsy Cline's greatest hits, and whenever we were in the car, she would put it on, and it got to the point where I knew all the words to every one of the songs, and I knew what order they came in on the tape.
There was this guy I used to work with, and he listened to Patsy Cline all the time, so I liked that after a while.
There's never going to be another Patsy Cline. Without her, I don't think I would have lasted.
There was a junk store in Nashville on 8th Avenue, where I bought Patsy Cline's train case for $75.
Undoubtedly, Patsy Cline was a trailblazer and in that respect, all women who are singular in a man's field have a special power.

I always thought it would have been fun to spend an evening with Patsy Cline - just because I think she was really fun and interesting. I think you'd have a really good time with her.
She taught me to revel. She taught me to wonder. She taught me to laugh. My sense of humor had always measured up to everyone else's; but timid introverted me, I showed it sparingly: I was a smiler. In her presence I threw back my head and laughed out loud for the first time in my life
It's wonderful that whenever Patsy Cline's name is mentioned, people's voices fall and they become right sentimental. And, rightly so.
