I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It's always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return. There's room for all kinds of influences be it pop, blues, gospel or whatever. But I will always say that I think we need more traditional country music coming down the pike.

From Randy Travis

To me, country music tells a story about, and deals with, the way people live their lives and what they do.

From Randy Travis

I just couldn't stand school. If I went, I'd skip after the first class. I didn't like to be told I had to study and had to do homework. There's a fact that you have to want to learn.

From Randy Travis

I've learned the importance of loving what you do. I have also learned more patience due to the nature of the music business.

From Randy Travis

It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.

From Randy Travis

I wish at times I had finished school just to say I had.

From Randy Travis

The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.

From Randy Travis

My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.

From Randy Travis

For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a person's soul at peace with everything and everybody around her.

From Randy Travis

I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business.
