I think the path is different for everybody. Go after the doors that are open to you. That has always been my motto getting into the music business. Do the things that seem to be good opportunities and work hard at it. Try to make good decisions and be nice. Hopefully all of that will pay off at some point. - Chris Stapleton 1 Share Now -

It's such a strange marriage, a song and someone that sings it. When that works, it really works, and when it doesn't, it doesn't. - Chris Stapleton 8 Share Now -
It's man's work. My dad was gone at 4:30 in the morning and home at 8 at night, and he worked underground, and the last mine he worked in was 26 inches high in a lot of places. He liked the engineering of it - he liked the moving the earth and being able to extract something and put it back for reclamation. He enjoyed the whole process. - Chris Stapleton 9 Share Now -
When you're writing with an artist or for an artist, you have to help them serve their vision. That's the cool part about writing songs. There are no rules. - Chris Stapleton 10 Share Now -
