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.

Don't be sad cause your sun is down, the night doesn't need your sorrow. Don't be sad cause the light is gone, just keep your mind on tomorrow.
James Taylor
I know now one thing only matters in these days... true love... love and love alone.
James Taylor
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
James Taylor
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.

Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.

I played the cello from when I was ten, and then I bought a guitar from the father of some friends of mine and played that for a while. And then when I was fourteen or so, I bought a guitar - a real nice one - in Durham, North Carolina, that I worked with up until I was about twenty-five.

I have a studio in a barn at home - we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It's fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.
James Taylor
He's halfway sick and halfway stoned. He'd sure like to kick, but he's too far gone. So they wind him down with methadone.
James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
James Taylor
I can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
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 believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.
James Taylor
Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.
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
You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.
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
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
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.
