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

Fans are what make a performer and I've always taken them seriously.

I think there's enough room in country music for everybody.

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

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 we don't need in country music is divisiveness, public criticism of each other, and some arbitrary judgement of what belongs and what doesn't.
