More quotes by James Taylor
There ain't no doubt in my mind that love is the finest thing around
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
I don't get into heavy political numbers because I don't find them lyrical.
James Taylor
I think people are isolated because of the nature of human consciousness, and they like it when they feel the connection between themselves and someone else.
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
You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.
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 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
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young.
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
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 think that we're all totally isolated beings and always will be.
James Taylor
All it really needed was the proper point of view. No one's gonna bring me down.
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
In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine, to hit me from behind, and I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.
James Taylor
Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
James Taylor
I'm trying to look at my blessings and how amazingly well against all odds things have turned out for me.
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
Try not to try too hard, It's just a lovely ride.
James Taylor
I'm looking forward to being able to retire from being a public figure and being able to afford to be myself!
