Do me wrong, do me right, tell me lies, but hold me tight.

James Taylor
I wanted to perform, I wanted to write songs, and I wanted to get lots of chicks.
James Taylor
I tend to write out the first iteration of a lyric here and then go over here and make variations on it, on the page opposite.
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 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
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
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
