I'm a fan of polarization. If you make something that is palatable to everybody, it's like making vanilla ice cream, and I think we have enough of that.

From Chris Stapleton

I think the path is different for everybody. Go after the doors that are open to you. That has always been my motto getting into the music business. Do the things that seem to be good opportunities and work hard at it. Try to make good decisions and be nice. Hopefully all of that will pay off at some point.

From Chris Stapleton

I write the songs and hand it over to the world and see what happens. But the things that I've written for people that have been hits, I don't know that I would have directed them in the right path, but they definitely wound up on the right path.

From Chris Stapleton

In the kind of fast-food world that we live in, where everything's so fast paced and it's, 'Look over here! Look over there,' we don't really take the time to sit down and enjoy music - or anything else, for that matter.

From Chris Stapleton

I'm not a hustler. I don't pitch songs. I don't ask people to write with me. It's not what I do.

From Chris Stapleton

I always tell people, 'The music's free. I get paid to travel.'

From Chris Stapleton

A lot of great bluegrass comes out of Kentucky. There's a lot of great music, like the Judds, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, and Keith Whitley. There's a lot of bluegrass intertwined with country music.

From Chris Stapleton

I can only be me. I have a hard time being a chameleon as a singer.

From Chris Stapleton

I walked into a demo session one time, and a guy said, 'I'm thinking kind of like a Trace Adkins thing.' And I looked him right in the eye and said, 'Man, you've got the wrong guy. I'm gonna have to fire myself. You've got to hire somebody else.'

From Chris Stapleton

My dad was a very straight arrow, prayed-at-every-meal kind of guy.
