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'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

James Taylor
I don't get into heavy political numbers because I don't find them lyrical.
James Taylor
Once you get that two-way energy thing going, everyone benefits hugely.
James Taylor
Einstein said that he never could understand it all, the planets spinning in space, the smile upon your face.
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
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
Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
James Taylor
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
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 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
