- Anne Murray: (on her early career) Once I had my first baby, I felt like I could conquer the world. For some reason, giving birth seemed to empower me. I felt as though I could do anything. That's when I really went for it.

- Anne Murray: (on writing her autobiography) No book is worth dissension. [Ex-husband] Bill and I are friends. It's the same with my kids. It's not worth dissension in the family, or all my other family, my brothers and their wives and all of that. No book is worth that. So I made sure I ran this by everybody who could be hurt, or had their nose out of joint or anything like that.

- Anne Murray: (in a convocation addresses to the 2009 graduates of the University of Prince Edward Island) At a very young age I learned from my parents to have respect for all people no matter what race, religion or station in life. Respect takes on many forms. Respect is being on time: your time is no more important than others. Respect is being prepared: people are relying on you. Respect is treating everyone with dignity. The janitor, the gardener, the CEO should all be acknowledged and appreciated for the jobs they do. My father taught me to always stand up when being introduced to someone. When you shake his hand, look him in the eye. Take time; remember his name; make him feel special.
