More quotes by James Taylor
I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.
James Taylor
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
James Taylor
I tend to write out the first iteration of a lyric here and then go over here and make variations on it, on the page opposite.
James Taylor
Don't be sad cause your sun is down, the night doesn't need your sorrow. Don't be sad cause the light is gone, just keep your mind on tomorrow.
James Taylor
Einstein said that he never could understand it all, the planets spinning in space, the smile upon your face.
James Taylor
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young.
James Taylor
I'm grateful to my audience, that there are people who will buy a ticket and come and see us play and who essentially support me and this life of music.
James Taylor
I think that we're all totally isolated beings and always will be.
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
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
Music is like a huge release of tension.
James Taylor
I don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.
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
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
There's been plenty of adversity, starting the moment he was born. He had a respiratory crisis, and it was touch and go for a week whether he would survive. I think ever since, you can feel this pulse in the guy, an almost physical enthusiasm.
James Taylor
I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.
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
I think that American music, for me, it's a synthesis of a lot of different things. But for me growing up in North Carolina, the stuff that I was listening to, the things that I was hearing, it was all about Black music, about soul music.
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
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
