More quotes by Jackson Browne
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons.
Jackson Browne
That folk music led to learning to play, and making things up led to what turns out to be the most lucrative part of the music business - writing, because you get paid every time that song gets played.
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
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
Jackson Browne
In the end, they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings. And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge, and in the moment they were swept before the deluge.
Jackson Browne
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown.
Jackson Browne
People know more about baseball players contracts than they do about the policies that govern the fate of our childrens lives in twenty years. Think about it. People used to say, the whole time I was growing up, Do you want to bring a child into this world? Thats pretty dire.
Jackson Browne
Oh Lord, are there really people starving still?
Jackson Browne
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.
Jackson Browne
I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
Jackson Browne
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
Jackson Browne
I let her do some of my laundry and she slipped in a few meals in between, and next thing I remember, she was all moved in.
Jackson Browne
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
Jackson Browne
Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow
Jackson Browne
Eleven on a scale of ten, honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend.
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
Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.
Jackson Browne
