I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am

some of my all time favortie @Miranda_Lambert quotes

these are from the new issue of self she covers in june!

“I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry—I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.’”

“I asked Blake, ‘Dude, why didn’t you tell me I got fat?’ He said, ‘That would go over like a lead balloon. It’s not my job to tell you you’re fat. It’s my job to tell you you’re beautiful.’” <—fave

“I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don’t want bodyguards. I am my own security.”

Blake and I barely see each other. We got married [last May], and we each had so much travel, it was, like, See you next year! There have been challenges the first year, but we faced them. We’re individuals, but together we’re a force to be reckoned with.”

“We eat the meat we kill. Blake and I served it at our wedding! I love it when people are down on me for hunting. If you eat meat at all, I don’t want to hear about it!”

“It’s OK to be fat and lazy sometimes. But eventually you’re, like, Oh crap—I shouldn’t have done that! I gained about 10 pounds over the holidays, and when I got onstage in January, I realized I wasn’t feeling great. I didn’t have the energy or lung capacity I needed. It was a good idea to get strong again.”

“Me and my band, the Pistol Annies, we like to party. We’re country artists. We don’t sing girly songs. Too many girls in my business get too girly. I’m, like, Come on, you know you’ve got dip in your mouth right now. Quit singing girly like that!”

“I won’t give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue.”

“I live on hairspray. The bigger the hair, the closer to God.”

“I don’t mind having a big butt. I actually like that about myself.”

“I think Blake is a bit scared of me. He says he’s not, but I’ve said, ‘If you cheat, I’ll spray-paint all of your trophy deer heads pink.’” <—hahahaha

“I say what I think. My song ‘Gunpowder and Lead’ is about domestic violence. When I saw [Chris Brown perform] at the Grammys, it upset me. I felt like the entertainment industry wasn’t sending a good message. So I tweeted about it. [“He beat on a girl…. Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen.”] I could have kept it to myself, but I’m glad I didn’t. If I saw him, I’d say, ‘We need to talk about you not doing this ever again.’ And I might have to use some curse words to get my point across.”
________________________
these are just others I loved <3


Call Me “Terrifying”, “Crazy Ex Girlfriend”, “Pistol Packin’” “Firecracker” Blah Blah Blah… and I will answer but from the bottom of a small-town East Texas girl’s heart: Thank You! I have always had and still have big dreams and you are all helping those come true. God gave me this gift to share and I promise to never let you down… well not too much anyway.

“Every now and then something makes you think about who and what you are. That’s when your heart reminds you.”

 
“If a man is dumb enough to treat you wrong, you should be smart enough to kick his ass to the curb.”
 
“Of course I’m gonna have a song about shooting somebody and then oh my gosh you broke my heart and then I love you and then I hate you forever I’m gonna write a song about a grudge I’m gonna hold on you for the rest of your life. I mean cause that’s how girls are!”
 
“Audiences in those early days would think, ‘Oh there’s another blond up there with a guitar.’ I had a lot to say, so I started to have that attitude of, ‘Damn it, listen to me.’”
 
“Carrie and I kind of came from the same world. She’s from ‘[American] Idol,’ and I’m from ‘Nashville Star.’ I don’t think either one of our careers rely on that at this point; we both set ourselves way apart just by making good records. The friendship comes from just two girls that really understand what each other is going through. The only person that really understands every aspect of what you do as an artist is an artist, especially a female. And when we first met, I don’t think we loved each other per se, we were just kinda like, “What are you about?’” But over the past five years, it’s cool to respect somebody and to also like them as a person and to see them succeed. We both just really respect each other and are genuinely happy for each other. I mean, it’s girls’ time! It’s been a while … And Carrie’s really shy — she’s shy by nature, and I’m not. So I sometimes feel like I force myself on her. I’m like, “Come on! We’re gonna have a shot together! We’re gonna drink a glass of wine!”
 
“When Carrie Underwood hugs you and strokes the back of your head saying ‘long time coming’ it’s going to make you cry.”
 
“Dear Seafoodville in Gainsville Texas… Thanks for great fish… rude lady putting a camera in my face while I was eating….ur on my list. I never forget people that are shockingly rude. It’s funny to me. If she only knew what I could and would to to her. The end”


“We had a meeting. All the Sony people were there. I sat down at the head of the table, crossed my hands and said, ‘OK, this is who I am…I’m from Texas. I write my own stuff. I have something to say. I’ll never dance around on stage in a halter top. I will always play my guitar. Now, if I can’t make a record that reflects me honestly, I’d rather just go home and play in Texas like I was. So please tell me now if you’re going to be bossing me around.’ (Label chief) John Grady said, ‘You go make your record.’”
 
“I don’t want my music to be taken as something you just hum along with. No matter what I’m singing, I want to say something that makes people think. I want people to hear my songs and feel something. I want to be appreciated as someone whose music is real. I want to be thought of as a true artist, not just as an ‘entertainer.’
 
“Well, not every song I write is about me. I mean, I’m not actually going to shoot my husband because he’s beating me. First of all, my husband’s not beating me. And I’m not going to go to jail”
 
“Dear rude lady in meet and greet that said “i wish I could wash off your tatoo” and then patted me on the back…. I chose not to comment on your body “flaws” in which there were many, so next time don’t comment on mine. :)”
 
“The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with. The hard part is I’m a normal-size girl, and I’m fine with that. All these stars are so tiny, and they spend their lives trying to be skinny. I want to look my best, but I’m not a model. I’m not an actress. I’m representing normal girls. It’s OK to have a little bit of curve. I’m happy with my body. So many girls come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for being normal,’ and I’m proud of that.”
 
“every time we get a new puppy, we realize, ‘Oh God, we’re not ready for kids.’”
 

”Blake is outdoorsy, outspoken and really funny,” she says. “I used to have no sense of humor. Everything was a big deal. I’ve gotten so much better about not taking things too seriously — and Blake is the reason why.”
 
“I heard a noise outside my house and saw something flash across the window, so I got my revolver and opened the door like they do on (TV show) Cops. He came around the corner, and I was like, ‘That was pretty stupid. I would have shot you and then dragged you into my house, so it looked like you were breaking in.’”
 
“People always tell me I could be the next LeAnn Rymes but thats not what I want, I want to be the first Miranda Lambert” - 19 yr old ran
 
“im gonna sing about a women who is having an affair with a MARR-IED person!”
 
“LEFT OVERS! The classic dinner at the Lambert family!”
 
“I guess Im the runt then”
 
“if I am a puppy I want to be the littlest cause they are the cutest”
 
“I sing a lot about empowering women. It takes strength to show vulnerability.”
 
“Of course I’m gonna have a song about shooting somebody and then oh my gosh you broke my heart and then I love you and then I hate you forever I’m gonna write a song about a grudge I’m gonna hold on you for the rest of your life. I mean cause that’s how girls are!”
 
“I’m a girl but if you listen and give me a chance, you might be impressed.”
 
“I don’t ever tell how many cause I don’t want people to know my secrets but I could be packin’ right now. You don’t know what these heels can hold”
 
“I told him, if he wants to dump me at the altar, call me to decide, and we’ll just have a party instead. Like don’t do it at the altar, that’s really bad,”
 
“I was in first grade and we lost everything. I remember every detail about it, every tear.”
 
“I promise I’m not going to shoot you — as long as you are nice.”
 
“Speak up, or don’t speak!”

I don’t want my music to be taken as something you just hum along with. No matter what I’m singing, I want to say something that makes people think. I want people to hear my songs and feel something. I want to be appreciated as someone whose music is real. I want to be thought of as a true artist, not just as an ‘entertainer.’

“It’s a little bit surreal because it’s one of the things that I set as a goal for myself and here it is, I said I want to be in the next 10 years nominated for Entertainer of the Year. A lot of the goals I set for myself have happened in 2010 and now this year, So, I’ve started thinking about making some new ones.”

“We always hope that one of us will get to hand the other one an award, which would be amazing, obviously, This year, I probably won’t see him because he’s going to be real busy because he’s hosting.”

“I’m representing normal girls. It’s OK to have a little bit of curve. I’m happy with my body. So many girls come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for being normal,’ and I’m proud of that.”
