Music is so intimate and so personal that when you can find somebody that feels the same way about it that you do, it’s magic. It can be. It really can be. – Trisha Yearwood
And one of the reasons that I wrote the cook books was so that I could be at home more than being on the road. – Trisha Yearwood
Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie. – Trisha Yearwood
I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps. – Trisha Yearwood
I have a lot of friends who, especially in Tennessee, were looking forward to getting married who wanted to wait until it was legal in the state that they live in to get married. – Trisha Yearwood
Before the show, there’s about two or two and a half hours of meet and greets with radio stations, promoters, people who I need to see and thank and talk to to make sure they remember me. And then, I get – out of all that day of talking and smiling and shaking hands and getting photos, I get to sing for two hours. – Trisha Yearwood
Garth Fundis is a song guy. He is in it for the right reasons; he’s about the music. He doesn’t ever try to talk you into recording something that you shouldn’t. He gets it. – Trisha Yearwood
I’m not saying I don’t enjoy the days that I’m not eating chocolate cake. But I do particularly like those days when I am eating chocolate cake. – Trisha Yearwood
We play everybody’s Christmas records at our house, and sometimes you think, ‘I’m not gonna play my own record; I’d be embarrassed.’ But I’m gonna play our record this Christmas, because I love the songs! – Trisha Yearwood
Music, from the time I was probably about five years old, was my obsession. I was going to say ‘passion,’ but I really was obsessed; I really didn’t want to do anything else. – Trisha Yearwood

When people say, ‘You seem so grounded; you seem so normal,’ I think it’s the way I was raised and the way my sister and I were brought up by our parents. – Trisha Yearwood
Education was a given, only because of the way I was raised. Truth be told, I thought, at 15 years old, I should go and get a record deal and drop out of school, and my parents would have had none of that.

I never want to record something that I’m not proud of just because I think it might be a big hit. There’s no positive about that because if you record a song you hate and it’s a big hit, then you’re singing a song every night that you hate. And if you record a song that you hate and it isn’t a hit, then you sold out for no reason. – Trisha Yearwood
It’s not about giving back if you’re successful or a celebrity or how much money you have: it’s about your responsibility as an adult to help others. – Trisha Yearwood
