Reba McEntire

You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.

I think it’s the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I’m not ashamed of that by any means.

[when asked if she had ever been asked to “sex it up” a little] I’m more of the down-home – I guess, you know, the good-old girl. Being sexy is kind of funny to me. You know, I can get kind of spunky or I can get tough, you know, that kind of tough, sexy look. But sexy? No, I don’t think so. Just what you see is what you get on me. And it’s never been anything of a sexual nature.

The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.

I couldn’t stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch – understand?

I’m off everything apart from the fags and the coffee. I don’t know if it’s worked. It works up until you take your first drink.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.

You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.

Easter is very important to me, it’s a second chance.

I was wearing my best gap turtleneck and my dates were two adult lesbians. So yea, I was pretty cool.

Ladies gotta say no to their husbands at the movies. They gotta say: ‘No, we are watching back-to-back cancer movies. And then this movie about a cat.’

Every race is a chapter. Those are two important races. Who knows what Sunday will bring?

[on drumming] There’s something rather nice about spending the evening hitting things.
