What Vince Gill Has to Say

As a singer-songwriter and musician, Gill exudes a great mixture of versatility coupled with virtuosity. With this, he has earned a great deal of respect from his fans and co-artists alike. His success definitely reflects the passion he pours to every song he produces and performance he does. With all these fame and limelight he has, none of these seems to have gone to his head. Gill is still the humble guy who shows nothing but kindness to everyone.

In an interview with the LA Times, Gill revealed about performing in front of an audience. He said:

“I certainly don’t go out of my way to sell that to people, I think sometimes people take their success and their career and their whole deal way too serious. I really don’t. I’m still just a guitar player, in my mind.”

He continued:

“I think that just comes from me being secure about myself, I wasn’t any different 10 years ago or 20 years ago, I just try to be normal. I like people. I’m approachable. It’s not a conscious effort to be a certain way. I just am.”

On the other hand, Gill admitted that there are sides of him that the public doesn’t see:

“I have drive and ambition. There are things that I’m intense about. I get on the guys if they’re not playing as good as they can and should. I want things to be the best. I’m a perfectionist. I want everyone else to be equally committed. I have a temper that shows up once in a while.”
