Tom [Collins] was a great influence on me. He really pushed me...constantly demanded rewrites. And, as much as I despised them, it was the best thing that could have happened because he just wouldn't settle for less. It had to be right, and it had to be good. - Dean Dillon

"The amazing part of Nashville writing is what it's always been. You can sit down in a room with somebody you've never met and know nothing about, and three or four hours later you write this great song. How we do it, I don't know, but it happens every day." -Dean Dillon

“The very fact that I’m alive and breathing and healthy and got a good family, man, is inspiration enough for me to get excited about going and doing some earnest work for songwriting.” Read more: https://t.co/CO3n6maAy0

"There are songwriters, and then there are poets — artists who magically weave melodies and words into three-and-a-half-minute masterpieces that outshine the paint-by-numbers songs that often clog up the airwaves." Dean Dillon on the cover of Knoxville Magazine in April of 2011.
