More quotes by James Taylor
I sometimes wonder how many of these lifetime achievement awards you can accept before you have to do the decent thing and die.
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'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
But it's only after you've played it on the road 20 or 30 times that it becomes really finished and polished...and you realize what it means, and you get the phrasing right.
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
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young.
James Taylor
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
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 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
Something I do love about social media is how you can expand your idea. You can make an extension of your art as opposed to just using it for promotion.
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
There ain't no doubt in my mind that love is the finest thing around
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
