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
I sometimes wonder how many of these lifetime achievement awards you can accept before you have to do the decent thing and die.
James Taylor
