Natalie Maines Quotes

Growing up, I thought I was going to be Madonna. I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to dance and sing.
I caught up on a lot of just domestic normal everyday stuff, and grew up a lot, and went to therapy, and did a lot of contemplating and figuring things out. I needed to just strip everything away and figure out who I am and get to know myself, as cheesy as that sounds.

I'm not good at multi-tasking.
I'm not out looking for a cause. They sort of find me or find my heart. But sure, there's always time for that. My big mouth can talk all the time.

Music is a personal preference. Everyone's free to connect and like whatever they want.
