A Quote by Marc Randolph

Don't move to L.A to become an actress - you'll just be a waitress. Don't drive to Nashville to become a country music star - you'll just end up playing empty honky-tonks at two in the afternoon on a Tuesday.

I knew what I wanted to be, but I didn't know exactly how to get there. I thought you move to Nashville, you sing downtown, and someone discovers you, and you become a country music star. I had no idea.

Tyler Farr

Growing up, I remember thinking country music was all honky-tonks and beer and trucks - Britney Spears was my first concert.

Kelsea Ballerini

I grew up in Nashville, born and raised. I'm a country girl, and I love country music. I had a dream I was going to be the first black female country music star, but then that wasn't the case.

Adrienne C. Moore

[ If I wasn't making music ] I'd probably end up going to school, I never went to school. Or just give up and get my plumber's ticket and move back to Edmonton and become an alcoholic.

Mac DeMarco

I did choir, soccer, some theater. The only weird thing about my life was that I was playing honky-tonks on the weekends.

Maren Morris

If I'm opening up for George Jones or playing a complete honky-tonk, I do true country music. But if it's a complete rock club, I'll do some country and a little bit of this hillbilly acoustic country metal or whatever it's called.

Hank Williams III

I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.

Elisabeth Rohm

I love to sing swing and shuffle stuff. Radio may not play it coast to coast, but I love playing them. Man, they fill the dance floor up. People who live the night life at these honky-tonks eat this stuff up.

Tracy Lawrence

When NBC switched the series in September to Tuesday nights opposite 'Maude' it died. 'Bonanza' had become too familiar with a Sunday audience. Tuesday just wasn't the day for it.

Lorne Greene

To become an actress was not something I had planned, it just came about through a music video. I just went with that flow.

Nazriya Nazim

The thing about Nashville is, it's not just country music...There's rock & roll, there's every kind of music. It's just a music town...There's so much fun stuff to get in to.

Connie Britton

Recording in Nashville was absolutely essential to get the sound, the musicians, the atmosphere, the warmth... There are just cult places like that in the world, like Chicago for the blues or New York for jazz. Nothing sounds the same in Nashville as it does elsewhere. Nashville is the Mecca of country music and everyone knows it.

Roch Voisine

In South Pasadena, artists were around but invisible somehow. Even though it was just a fifteen-minute drive from Downtown LA, it felt worlds apart. That suburban American experience can both protect and stunt you. I couldn't wait to move to New York to become the person I've always wanted to become.

Porochista Khakpour

For me to become an All-Star for two straight years and now to become an All-Star starter, I most definitely proved the doubters wrong. It's an unbelievable moment in my career.
