QUOTES BY Martie Maguire


The older I get the more laid back I am about whatever happens, happens.

I was born with great eyelashes. They just do what I want them to do.

What I've learned and all of us have learned is: You can't force art, and there's no way you could force somebody to do something that they didn't want to do in this line of work.

Costumes are great. That kind of effort tells the audience that the performer has taken the time to be the total package.

You've got to live your life first and do your job second.

We started to overthink things in the Dixie Chicks and do things we thought people wanted us to do.

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.'

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.

We've had a lot of controversy in our career, and it's never been intentional.
