More quotes by James Taylor
I don't build no heathen temples, where the Lord has done laid a hand. There's a well on the hill, let it be.
James Taylor
I played the cello from when I was ten, and then I bought a guitar from the father of some friends of mine and played that for a while. And then when I was fourteen or so, I bought a guitar - a real nice one - in Durham, North Carolina, that I worked with up until I was about twenty-five.
James Taylor
I'm always making music. I'm constantly making little musical recordings on my phone or on a little voice recorder I carry with me so I can remember these little pieces of music that eventually becomes songs.
James Taylor
He's halfway sick and halfway stoned. He'd sure like to kick, but he's too far gone. So they wind him down with methadone.
James Taylor
I'm glad about what's happening to the music business. This last crop of people we had in the 90s, who are going away now, they didn't like music. They didn't trust musicians. They wanted something else from it.
James Taylor
I don't find the songs they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.
James Taylor
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
I think it surprises a lot of people that I'm still around, you know, still - that I'm not pushing up daisies, as they say.
James Taylor
It's easier to make an album, harder to figure out how to get people to notice it.
James Taylor
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
James Taylor
Music is like a huge release of tension.
James Taylor
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
James Taylor
The Test arena is a place I have been desperate to get back to, it is the pinnacle of the sport
James Taylor
I told you that I love you, I was only telling a lie. I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn and I believe the word is goodbye.
James Taylor
It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.
James Taylor
Won't you look down upon me Jesus, you've got to help me make a stand. You just got to see me through another day.
James Taylor
Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.
James Taylor
I'm very unstable there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.
James Taylor
I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.
James Taylor
I know there are people who don't like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated, but my audience has been very good - they don't bother me and when they do contact me it's usually on the nicest possible terms.
James Taylor
