More quotes by James Taylor
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young.
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
To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.
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
I know now one thing only matters in these days... true love... love and love alone.
James Taylor
I don't build no heathen temples, where the Lord has done laid a hand. There's a well on the hill, let it be.
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'm trying to look at my blessings and how amazingly well against all odds things have turned out for me.
James Taylor
I don't get into heavy political numbers because I don't find them lyrical.
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
I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.
James Taylor
Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
Do me wrong, do me right, tell me lies, but hold me tight.
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
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
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.
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
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
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
