Quotes by Keith Urban

• Once we get into the groove, we're kind of like long-distance runners - that adrenalin kicks in for me and I just keep running - and I don't stop!
• They're mostly done before we went into the studio, although I do like writing in the studio.
• My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
• It's something I've always loved doing. I'm not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I'm there every second of every day. That's my hands-on situation.
• It can get a little costly if you try and leave it until then to write songs. But you're writing all the time. You're collecting songs. I've had songs that have been collected over a two-year period for my next record.
• I've always been a pretty private, quiet kind of person and so I haven't had to change my life really at all, I don't think.
• I'm a little more comfortable in that role. I love being in the studio.
• I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.
• I think it took me a while to convince Nashville that what I do is genuine and my heart's in the right place, and I love country music.
• It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long.
• You're always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully they're all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadn't done on the first one.
