You can't just keep bottling the same thing over and over again and think the audience isn't going to catch on.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
Fifteen-year-old LeAnn Rimes singing about commitment? You want to go, 'Yeah, right.'
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We do appreciate that we have a very conservative audience and we do try to walk the fine line of that and not offend anybody.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
You get your time in the limelight but you don't know how long it's going to last. It's great, but you have to put up with a lot.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
So many young kids are fickle when it comes to music. There comes a time when you're not cool again.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I was just oblivious to the fact that the country scene was socially backward and politically opposite of everything I am.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We grew up in the South, but in a very liberal household - both our parents are from the Northeast.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I would never go on 'Dancing With the Stars,' because I'm not the greatest dancer in the world. But when I watch 'The Apprentice' sometimes I'm like, 'I could do that task.' The only reason I would not do that is that I could never call people for money and on that show you have to be willing to call people for money.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
Especially after the Chicks' success, it's hard to think of starting over.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
It's not like we were setting out to make a political statement - we're just a band with opinions.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
In the beginning, if you look at those early label albums of the Chicks, we didn't write all that much. We had an A&R person and they were getting songs from publishers, listening to hours and hours of cassette tapes.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
Any time the Chicks want to play, that takes precedence, because we can make a lot of money.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I used to be a big 'Star Search' fan. I think it's great people who have a music dream have a place to showcase their talent.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
You know, I think it's something I want to teach my children, to ask questions and not be afraid to disagree with people in power. Always question, scrutinize everything they do, because they are leading the country, and it's important to me. That is patriotic.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I think people in the public eye have a problem - they can have security issues.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I love the tone of old, non-amplified, real acoustic fiddles, and Wood Violins are the closest thing I have found to that sound. They play beautifully!
Quote by -Martie Maguire
It's such a strong drive for women, knowing you were meant to be a mom. We would have gone into debt, done whatever, exhausted all the options, to get there. But a lot of women have to give up on that dream because they can't afford it.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I really have aproblem with the fact that insurance companies don't see infertility as a medical condition requiring coverage. I do want there to be some pressure on the insurance companies.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We spent three years of active trying before we went to IVF. First I went on Clomid. Then I had some dye tests and found I had a collapsed tube, so I had laparoscopic surgery; the tube wasn't blocked, just spasming.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I'm amazed when I hear my daughters with their friends. They'll just talk openly about, 'Yeah, he used to be a girl and now he's a boy.' It gives me a lot of hope... It's so matters of fact. It's like they're saying blue and yellow make green. I love that.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
At the Grammys, how many performances were with women playing instruments? Is it still surprising that a female can play an instrument proficiently?
Quote by -Martie Maguire
My closet CD that I don't admit that I really listen to is Celine Dion. My husband's sister passed away in a car accident, and she was a huge Celine Dion fan. 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' was her favorite song, so that's kind of my guilty pleasure.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I play a little acoustic bass and a little guitar. In our house there are instruments everywhere, and I love picking them up and just noodling around. I pick up my husband's tin whistle sometimes. He's really proficient, but it's about the second most annoying instrument - after the banjo - if you don't know how to play it.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
Songwriting is such a personal thing and it's hard to be in a room with somebody you don't know and trust.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I feel like Court Yard Hounds keeps us idling. I think Emily and I function better when we're continually making music and playing, and this is a way to keep doing that.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I am a really passive person to begin with so I have written a lot of pretty crappy songs with strangers because I let it go in a direction that I didn't feel it should have and I didn't know them well enough to speak up.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We have an older sister who gets pregnant easily. So Emily and I think there may be an environmental cause for our problems. Neither of us were very old when we started trying. But we've lived very parallel lives. We've been in a band together since I was 12 and she was 10. We can't help but wonder, did we stay in a hotel near a power plant?
Quote by -Martie Maguire
When we were unknown, you don't get a lot of bad feedback. Now, we get people bad-mouthing us all the time, but it's all part of the game.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We've had a lot of controversy in our career, and it's never been intentional.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
I couldn't imagine that my career could have contributed to the demise of my marriage, but I do think neither of us realized that when you spend 60 to 70 days a year face-to-face, no marriage is going to survive. No relationship is going to survive.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
When I look back at some of the Chicks stuff, it's the early stuff we did where we kind of giggle and go, 'You know what? Those were the good old days.'
Quote by -Martie Maguire
We started to overthink things in the Dixie Chicks and do things we thought people wanted us to do.
Quote by -Martie Maguire
Costumes are great. That kind of effort tells the audience that the performer has taken the time to be the total package.
