Hey There. So we all know how hilarious Alison is right. One thing I like to do it collect different quotes from her that absolutely crack me up. So I found this website of a few things I wanted to share with all of you. The things that come out of this womans mouth, she's such a riot!
www.seanscrazysite.freeservers.com/AlisonKraussQuotes.htmlWell I see that webpage is long gone, so I found it on archive.org and will post the quotes here:
Alison Krauss Quotes
"Scratch if it itches, even if it's in your britches." -Sept. 2000
"Hopefully, I'm not a crazy person. I hope I'm not a psychopath. I'm 80 percent sure I'm not." -Nov. 99
"We've heard for years we're too country, or too folky, or too whatever for bluegrass and we're too bluegrass for country. I like that because that means maybe we're doing something our own way. That, to me, is a lot more satisfying than having super success..." -Aug. 99
"I sure hope I'm not compared to those early records for much longer. I don't think I even had armpit hair yet back then." -Apr. 02
"I feel really weird, you guys! What in the world is going on here, folks? Oh, my!" -Grammy Acceptance, 1995
"Well, we're thrilled we get to do this for a living, and get to do this as a career, and anything like that (CMA award nominations) is just gravy. Just getting to make records and playing music all the time is an awfully good time."
"Well, I usually prepare by sitting at home in a thing and some pumps." -about preparations on the award show day
"Well, this is actually one of my favorite songs. It was written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. And it's just a sad, pitiful number that fits in with the rest of the stuff in there [the album]." -about "New Favorite"
About "The Lucky One" Video
"See my dress, though--my velvet-surrounded breasts with golden threads circling them. There was this push-up bra--I always saw these women wearing those dresses like that. I'm like, 'How do they do that? How do they stand up like that? Mine never stand up like that!' And so she brought this bra, and it was, like, one of those things with the rubber in them to make everything stand where they're supposed to stand. And I remember I put it on and I was like, 'GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!' She goes, 'I got it a couple sizes smaller so that they would really stand out.' So they were incredible. I thought they were absolutely fantastic."
Alison: There was one woman they had in there--they had her dressed up.
Dan Tyminski: I remember the woman you're speaking of.
Alison: THE WOMAN! And she was...she was really built and stacked. And I thought, "Well nobody's breasts can look bigger than mine. So therefore we had her put on a minimizer. No, we had her change clothes because I had to have the biggest chest in the video.
About "Steel Rails" Video
"We showed up there at about five in the morning, and the lady doing my makeup out there--she says--she was painting my face--and she was going, 'You know, they said you had bad skin, but it's really not that bad.' I'm like, 'Thanks, I think.'
"That's the scene! That's where it happened! That very scene! The man, the poor man, was tuckin' my shirt behind me and puttin' that hat down, and I...violated 'im. That was a little gas is what I did right on that man! I remember that. It was just terrible, and I went (worried facial expression). That was terrible! I couldn't believe it~ I was goin', 'Oh, God, God, please, please, please don't let him know that--' but there was no way that he wouldn't've known."
"This whole scene we had to reshoot. I don't know if it's because I have light-colored eyes or if they're real light sensitive. Whenever there's a bright light in my face, my eyes'll turn crossed, and I rmember getting the video back, and there was this whole section of me sittin' like this (crosses eyes), and 'What-wha-wha-wha why would she put that in there?' I mean it was cut to it a number of times and I remember us calling and goin', 'Well, uh, doesn't she looked a little cross-eyed in this shot?' She said, 'Yes, she is, but that's all we have.' And so we had to go reshoot it."
About "Maybe" Video
"This is 'Maybe,' and we shot it in Los Angeles at this low income housing place. And we're asking what this place was, and they talked about how they used to film adult movies there in the 70s, and I recognized it."
"The guy there--we, uh, had to pick a guy, and I said, 'Well, don't make him to good lookin' 'cause they're gonna wonder what he's doin' there with me."
"There's a scene where they're gonna show him comin' up behind me to touch my shoulder, and Rocky--the director--said--he goes, 'Matt--who's the guy--just now walk up behind Alison, ya know, you're kinda sneaking up behind her, and reach over there and...grab her breast.' But anyway, he didn't end up doing it."
"That's a nice shot there. I got a call from the guy who engineered this wreck, and he's like, 'Nice cleavage bendin' down there. It was great.' Can't say we go for that often."
"That dress I'm wearing--It had come way down low and we pulled it up a little bit so it wouldn't be so...so revealing and send the viewers just...CRAZY. So we fixed it. We pulled it up a little bit, and it's only showcasing a small amount of my greatness."
"This is, This is on top of the roof there, and the guys had been drinking wine all day. And we think Dan--the one playing electric guitar, you know, you really doesn't play electric guitar--we think he looks like the lost guy from 38 Special. It's funny to us, but not anybody else."
"You can tell by Matt's longing look for me that he wants me and he wants me bad. He wants me because I AM SEXY! It's that choker."
"There was bird remembrance all over...that place where I was leaning."

"Jean is very animated, and he's French Canadian. And I remember talking to him, and I said, 'You know my face isn't the most clear face of everybody you've ever seen.' And he goes, 'Oh, no, it is no problem. You are beautiful. You're skin is, oh it's just perfect. It's beautiful.' And he ran into Paige, who was gonna do my makeup, and she goes, 'What doy uo want me to do with her makeup?' And he says, 'Oh, well it is fine--very natural. She has a few things here and there, but it's okay!' And she goes, 'Well, I don't know what planet you come from, but where I come from, that's nasty!'"
About "Every Time You Say Goodbye" Video
"These were my days as a woman for the fuller-figured lover, and uh...oh yeah, that was...that was hard getting in and out of all those things I was in. And uh...hew! I remember I had a full girdle on and another girdle on on top of that on top of pantyhose. And I remember that the back of that thing was holding on for all its might."
About "I've Got That Old Feeling" Video

"Get some tweezers! Get the tweezers out!"
