I want to produce a country album for a country singer.

When I was in the country and I was trying to play, nobody seemed to pay too much attention to me. People used to say, 'That's just that ole blues singer.'

If you want to be a good blues singer, people are going to be down on you, so dress like you're going to the bank to borrow money.

There's no way to be able to tell what it's like to be a country singer until you're walking in the shoes.

What qualifies me to tell people how to act or what to think? I'm Charley Pride, country singer. Period.

When I finally put my guitar in the case the last time, I want to be remembered just as a singer, not as a country singer or pops singer - just a singer.
