Personal quotations

• "No matter where in the world we go, from the countries it was released as a single to the countries that it wasn't, it doesn't seem to matter, people just know that opening, no doubt about it, 'Friends in Low Places' is the most recognised Garth Brooks song."
• "I truly believe if country music had the accessibility pop and rock has been granted it would be the biggest musical format on the planet."
• "There have been hundreds people before me in this seat who will never be up here again and that's because the people were through with them, so I hope I can see it coming, so I can either retire gracefully and go out with some kind of class, I'll be faced with that decision to either do that or either hang in for one more album and see what happens."
• (after being asked if he felt his was "born to sing and entertain people" ) "Well I hope I was, cause if there's something else I'm meant to be doing I'm missing the boat."
• "I don't talk very well, but hopefully in my music we can get something across."
• (After being compared to Elvis Presley) "Come on, let's be realistic..... No one will ever touch Elvis."
• "If you do it for the money you won't last very long, because money is the opposite of music."
• "I want to thank the good Lord, because He's done a heck of a lot for me."
