I didn't say I wasn't gonna do rockabilly. I just said I ain't gonna sing no song that ain't a country song. I won't be known as anything but a country singer.

I want to produce a country album for a country singer.

I never expected to record again. I knew I had done everything I ever wanted to do. I was satisfied. But... all the time I'm watching the country music horizon. And I'm sayin' 'Lord, is there anybody gonna come?'

I'm not just a big-haired redhead country singer who dresses flamboyantly, has this wicked sense of humor and wears rhinestones.

There's no way to be able to tell what it's like to be a country singer until you're walking in the shoes.

What qualifies me to tell people how to act or what to think? I'm Charley Pride, country singer. Period.
