More quotes by James Taylor
Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.
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
Maybe my biggest aim is to bring a sense of that old mystery of rock 'n' roll into the new age of today's instantaneous and fast world.
James Taylor
I can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
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
I'm always making music. I'm constantly making little musical recordings on my phone or on a little voice recorder I carry with me so I can remember these little pieces of music that eventually becomes songs.
James Taylor
Once you get that two-way energy thing going, everyone benefits hugely.
James Taylor
In the beginning, there was a kind of energy that - like an urgency to express myself, and the songs just couldn't be held in. But I think it changes, the nature of how that - what that energy is. And I need to court the muse in a much more serious way.
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
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.
James Taylor
It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.
James Taylor
Americans work a long away ahead of themselves because of the size of the place. To make any impact at all you have to promote yourself with live performances ages before a release.
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.
James Taylor
I collect hats. That's what you do when you're bald.
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
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
To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.
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
I'm very unstable there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.
James Taylor
There ain't no doubt in my mind that love is the finest thing around
