More quotes by Guy Clark
I love playing and I love singing, and the writing. There's kind of a symbiotic relationship between the writing and the playing.
Guy Clark
I've known Shawn for several years. And he's just an amazing talent. He's a great writer, a marvelous, marvelous guitar player, and plays really good fiddle.
Guy Clark
Its just something Ive always done. In South Texas, the first guitar you get is a Mexican guitar. And the first one I got, the first thing I did was take it apart.
Guy Clark
Things change all the time, and theyll probably never be the same again. Its just the natural evolution of the human condition. Things change, and whatever it is is what it is. I mean, you try to start second guessing that, you either get rich or die broke.
Guy Clark
If I knew where good songs came from, I'd go there more often.
Guy Clark
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands, it'll be a fair curve from a noble plan.
Guy Clark
Interesting little game we play with each other.
Guy Clark
I just was apologizing for maybe being a little goofy.
Guy Clark
There arent any rules, as far as anything-and that applies especially to writing songs, whatever gets the point across. So youre just kind of brought up to feel-in any field, if you say you can do it, do it. There it is.
Guy Clark
I've gone a year and not written a song just because I couldn't think of anything. But I always come back to it because there's always that little buzz you get when you do something well and sing it out loud to the public. And people clap and tell you how great you are.
Guy Clark
I hear this song and I think, Man, this is ... great. This is the best I ever heard this. I forget I'm the one singing.
Guy Clark
I don't know what the outcome will be. I put a couple away for my grandkids, like that. So I don't know, who knows? Maybe I'll start building guitars for a living.
Guy Clark
I get pretty much all the exercise I need walking down airport concourses carrying bags.
Guy Clark
Music is supposed to be entertaining and if it touches you emotionally, so much the better. Sometimes you do it to save your own life, not anybody else's. That's why I write. I'm not trying to change anybody else's life or the world, I'm trying to keep from blowing my own brains out. That's the real point.
