Darius Rucker People Quotations

Remember the Stax label and how if you liked one record, you liked all the others as well? You don't talk to a lot of people who tell you how much they love their record label. I don't care how many records they sell.

I think people who go out and tell you how much they're gonna change things are the people who end up being just another whatever. I'm never trying to change anything. That's not for me.

We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going.

We realized instantly it was going to be like that. People wanted to compare it to what we'd d done before. But are we going to complain about selling 16 million records? I don't think so.

People really seem to forget there's people in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia who are there for a year or whatever, ... In their hearts, they're there to protect the people of America and what we stand for.

And the age difference -- you've got women in their late 50s and ... kids just going into the sixth grade. The people that are Hootie fans are Hootie fans. They love us, and we love playing for them. We definitely don't do this for any other reason.

It was such a blur. All we saw was that the shows were getting bigger. It's like people say, a lot of it is a timing thing. We came out at the right time.

Dave LaChapelle talked me into it, ... I thought it was going to be no big deal, probably not too many people would see it. Then I was having a party during the Daytona 500, and it was the first commercial on it. I told my wife, 'Honey, I think I'm in trouble.'

I love it. I'd do it again any time, and I'm sure we'll do it for other records. It was awesome. We met cool people and got some really good songs out of it.
