More quotes by James Taylor

James Taylor
Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.
James Taylor
I think that we're all totally isolated beings and always will be.
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.

I don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.
James Taylor
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.

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'm grateful to my audience, that there are people who will buy a ticket and come and see us play and who essentially support me and this life of music.
James Taylor

James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
Do me wrong, do me right, tell me lies, but hold me tight.
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
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
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
James Taylor
I feel like if you let someone else create your vision, then it's not true to your band. No one can ever do as good as you want, or as good as you can yourself.
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
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
James Taylor
I collect hats. That's what you do when you're bald.
James Taylor
One of my earliest memories was me singing 'Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' at the top of my voice when I was seven. I got totally carried away. My grandmother, Sarah, was in the next room. I didn't even realise she was there. I was terribly embarrassed.
