James Taylor
What I've always done as an entertainer is try to come up with things that people will find interesting, or compelling, or humorous.
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 wanted to perform, I wanted to write songs, and I wanted to get lots of chicks.
James Taylor
It is the most delightful thing that ever happens to me, when I hear something coming out of my guitar and out of my mouth that wasn't there before.
James Taylor
I think of myself as a highly spiritual person, but without - I was never really given a religion or a religious experience or a community to sort of subscribe to.
James Taylor
Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.
James Taylor
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
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
