More quotes by James Taylor

James Taylor

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 it really needed was the proper point of view. No one's gonna bring me down.
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 know there are people who don't like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated, but my audience has been very good - they don't bother me and when they do contact me it's usually on the nicest possible terms.
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
I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
James Taylor
Quart of whiskey a day for months working hard on a long poem. Wife hiding bottles, myself hiding bottles. Murderous and suicidal. Many hospitalizations, many alibis.
James Taylor
If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
James Taylor
You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.
James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
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
