More quotes by James Taylor
I know now one thing only matters in these days... true love... love and love alone.
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
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
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
I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

James Taylor
When I cleaned up some 17 odd years ago, I felt terrible for about six months. The only thing that gave me any real relief was strenuous physical activity.
James Taylor
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
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
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 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
I can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
I was in chemical jail.
