More quotes by James Taylor
Try not to try too hard, It's just a lovely ride.
James Taylor
I can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
James Taylor
It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical.
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
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
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
Music is like a huge release of tension.
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
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.
James Taylor
To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.
James Taylor
Without a doubt, the warming of the past 100 years has been a welcome respite from a long and deadly Little Ice Age. The possibility that humans may have contributed to the recent warming does not make it any less welcome.
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
I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.
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
There ain't no doubt in my mind that love is the finest thing around
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'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
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
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
James Taylor
