More quotes by Johnny Cash
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
Johnny Cash
Rick Rubin said, well, I don't know that we will sell records. He said, I would like you to go with me and sit in my living room with a guitar and two microphones and just sing to your heart's content everything you ever wanted to record. I said, that sounds good to me. So I did that. And day after day, three weeks, I sang for him.
Johnny Cash
[My mother] called [my voice] the gift.

My way of communicating with God as a boy (and often even now) was through the lyrics of a song. . . . So I didn't have the problem some people do who say, I don't know how to pray. I used the songs to communicate with God. . . . To me, songs were the telephone to heaven, and I tied up the line quite a bit.
Johnny Cash
All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.
Johnny Cash
I think in my world of religion, you're called to preach or you don't preach. Called by God to preach. I never been ordained by God to preach the gospel. I have a calling, it's called to perform and sing.
Johnny Cash
God Ain't no stained glass window, cause he never keeps his window closed.
Johnny Cash
A person knows when it just seems to feel right to them. Listen to your heart.
Johnny Cash
I would take songs that I'd loved as a child and redo them in my mind for the new voice I had, the low voice.
Johnny Cash
Take one fresh and tender kiss Add one stolen night of bliss One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy Memories are made of this.
Johnny Cash
That was American Recordings. I said, I like the name, maybe it'd be OK. So I said, I'd like to meet the guy [Rick Rubin ].I'd like for him to tell me what he can do with me that they're not doing now.
Johnny Cash
Sam Phillips responded most to a song of mine called, Hey Porter, which was on the first record.
Johnny Cash
I had an empathy for prisoners and did concerts for them back when I thought that it would make a difference - you know? - that they really were there to be rehabilitated.
