When you keep the caliber of musicians very high in the band, people are going to come and go. Some of them will be people who have to try various things, it’s natural.  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about, and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything - my friendships, my marriage, my career, my family, my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Anyway, our family went into complete crisis mode. I have two older brothers, and we rallied as a family  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Can you blame them? We have to filter so much information these days. But it does make it difficult for an artist. I’m 46 years old now. I’ve had a lot of life experience and my voice has changed. People who expect the same old me are bound to be disappointed  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) So I had to just kind of go back to the hotel, take a shower, sit quiet, dig down deep, warm up, and allow myself to move into some kind of zone. And then I remembered that a lot of my favorite musical moments are not about perfection  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) So all of these things are going on that make you wake up and realize you are a mortal person. You can choose to cruise through your life, but if you do, you’re going to open your eyes at some point, and it’s gone.  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I guess the biggest thing is that I committed to a spiritual center before I do anything else. And I put some daily things in my life into practice and I maintain that, to make sure that I don’t drop the ball.  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I would step into a place of being lined up with a sense of purpose and my inner compass, and everything was going in the same direction. Then I’d get lazy and get off the track. And then things would start to fall apart, and I’d back up and get it together again.  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) That’s the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn’t have those things we’d just be numb.  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Whenever someone leaves, the next person that gets pulled in is somebody with similar values  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Tonight I feel like all of creation is asking us to dance  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) An eye for an eye til everyone is blind  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I want to savor the aging process. As you get older, you trade your innocence for wisdom and the wisdom is your reward  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Your voice is vibrant for only a certain part of your life. There are some records I’ve always wanted to make, and I don’t know if I want to waste this time beating on the door of the charts  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) When you keep the caliber of musicians very high in the band, people are going to come and go. Some of them will be people who have to try various things, it’s natural  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) We rob ourselves of so much by focusing on the wrong stuff. and the ability to get into the moment and deal with what is, that’s the real opportunity  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) There’s nothing more fun than sitting in a circle playing with people who are really into it  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I really think that’s what music and art is about. It’s another way to connect to the divine. It’s a real pure way of touching that deeper reality beneath our life  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) You’ve got to dance like nobody’s watching, and love like it’s never going to hurt  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) You know, your speaking voice comes back, but your singing voice you use in a different way  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) You have to write badly to write at all. If it’s crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) You have to listen to what resonates within your own gut. You find your direction there. Your voice comes out  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) That’s the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn’t have those things we’d just be numb  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) So all of these things are going on that make you wake up and realize you are a mortal person. You can choose to cruise through your life, but if you do, you’re going to open your eyes at some point, and it’s gone  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) Or if I have my head in the results, I can’t work with what I have, because I’m trying to force something to happen. And with singing, any time you force it, you tighten up. If you tighten up, you’re screwed, nothing will work  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) If you say that you’re all about a certain something, and look back and see that the choices that you’ve made don’t reflect that, then there’s something for you to look at  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I’ve come to understand my role. On some level, I provide the context for them to shine. I also know my role is the steward of the songs, and the center point, the artist that the stuff all revolves around. But I really try to honor that  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I would step into a place of being lined up with a sense of purpose and my inner compass, and everything was going in the same direction. Then I’d get lazy and get off the track. And then things would start to fall apart, and I’d back up and get it together again  (Kathy Mattea Quotes) I guess the biggest thing is that I committed to a spiritual center before I do anything else. And I put some daily things in my life into practice and I maintain that, to make sure that I don’t drop the ball  (Kathy Mattea Quotes)
