More quotes by James Taylor
Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.
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
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.
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 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
In the beginning, there was a kind of energy that - like an urgency to express myself, and the songs just couldn't be held in. But I think it changes, the nature of how that - what that energy is. And I need to court the muse in a much more serious way.
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 can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
James Taylor
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
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
All invisible from where we stand the connections come to pass, and though too strong to comprehend they affect us not the less.
James Taylor
I wanted to perform, I wanted to write songs, and I wanted to get lots of chicks.
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
It's easier to make an album, harder to figure out how to get people to notice it.
James Taylor
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
I was in chemical jail.
James Taylor
Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night, half of them wounded and barely alive. Just nine out of twenty was headed for home, with eleven stories to tell.
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
It is the most delightful thing that ever happens to me, when I hear something coming out of my guitar and out of my mouth that wasn't there before.
James Taylor
