More quotes by Jackson Browne
The biggest influence? I've had several at different times - but the biggest for me was Bob Dylan, who was a guy that came along when I was twelve or thirteen and just changed all the rules about what it meant to write songs.
Jackson Browne
Eleven on a scale of ten, honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend.
Jackson Browne
And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that's what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet.
Jackson Browne
Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne
Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.
Jackson Browne
Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.

I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.
Jackson Browne
I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
Jackson Browne
Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown.
Jackson Browne
Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.
Jackson Browne
I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.
Jackson Browne
I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines.
Jackson Browne
You would think with all the genius and the brilliance of these times, we might find a higher purpose and a better use of mind.
Jackson Browne
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
Jackson Browne
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
Jackson Browne
Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.
Jackson Browne
