More quotes by James Taylor
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
James Taylor
Quart of whiskey a day for months working hard on a long poem. Wife hiding bottles, myself hiding bottles. Murderous and suicidal. Many hospitalizations, many alibis.
James Taylor
I think good music makes you feel free, and if people feel free when they come to a show or listen to my music, that would mean the world to me.
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
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young.
James Taylor
Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
James Taylor

James Taylor
One of my earliest memories was me singing 'Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' at the top of my voice when I was seven. I got totally carried away. My grandmother, Sarah, was in the next room. I didn't even realise she was there. I was terribly embarrassed.

James Taylor
I have a studio in a barn at home - we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It's fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.
James Taylor
I've written a number of songs over the years and it's a big part of my life, this sort of tension between a longing for home and the call for the open road. It's sort of like a tug between two families. I even love to miss my home.
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 feel like if you let someone else create your vision, then it's not true to your band. No one can ever do as good as you want, or as good as you can yourself.
James Taylor
I don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.
James Taylor
Americans work a long away ahead of themselves because of the size of the place. To make any impact at all you have to promote yourself with live performances ages before a release.
James Taylor
There'll come a writing phase where you have to defend the time, unplug the phone and put in the hours to get it done.
James Taylor
Do me wrong, do me right, tell me lies, but hold me tight.
James Taylor
Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.
James Taylor
Bruce Springsteen's a rock star. Elton John is a rock star. I'm a folk musician. Honestly, I think that's true.
