Reba McEntire

I think they want to keep it separate, but I’ve never been a crossover artist for some reason.

I think it’s a wonderful time for a woman.

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It’s like listening to a song – I mean, a story. If you’re going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don’t want to make them up.

I had lots of breaks.

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.

So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn’t like. And what they had an idea for, we didn’t like. So, we went home.

I have my moments – usually twice every album – when I basically lose it.

To me, they are equally important, as they represent a certain period in my life and times. With that in mind, it really is impossible to pick favorites.

I really like comedy that brings people together. There’s a lot of comedies lately that have been at people’s expense or been kind of acidic or mean-spirited. And some folks like that, and I think there’s room for that, but that’s not my style. I like something that makes us all feel closer. Comedy, at its best, can be healing.

I’m my worst critic and I always want to give people something better than I gave them before.

The same kind of boys always like me. The ones that easily get their feelings hurt. Ugh! Then they try to get my attention by doing something dumb but I’m too busy to notice

Ahh, I’m from Canada so… no. I’m a Northern Belle.

There is no one of-woman-born who does not like Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a socialist.

Florida, just because you’re shaped like some combination of a gun and a d*ck doesn’t mean you have to act that way.

Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.

Sometimes people expect that I’m going to be tough. It’s not a bad situation. People treat you better. People are on time.

A girl must marry for love, and keep on marrying until she finds it.

There’s no better money to spend than your own.

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around – the music and the ideas.

Attending an all-girls school has its advantages, there are no inhibitions. You can walk to school with your zit cream on and your hair in rollers and nobody cares.

It’s just such a tangled-up issue, the way women present themselves [in comedy]-whether or not they choose to put their thumbs in their panties on the cover of Maxim and judge each other back and forth on it. It’s a complicated issue, and we didn’t go much further on saying anything other than to say, ‘Yeah, it’s a complicated issue and we’re all kind of figuring it out as we go.’
