Quotes from Keith Whitley

It's funny, but no matter how good an artist is, it's not until he stands on his own two feet and sticks to his guns that things are going to come together.

On my first album nobody asked me for a lot of advice. It was a producer's album. We were sent the same type songs with stock melodies. It was my first album and I was happy to do about anything they'd ask me.

Songs I do have to strike an emotional chord the first time I sing them.

I've played the Opry before.

For me, the past isn't deep and dark; I had a lot of fun I couldn't have had any other way.
