More quotes by Johnny Cash
Inside the walls of a prison my body may be, but my Lord has set my soul free.
Johnny Cash
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
Johnny Cash
There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.
Johnny Cash
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
Johnny Cash
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
Johnny Cash
When I think about country music, I think about America.
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
Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkly clothes, and cowboy boots. I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I've worn black clothes ever since.
Johnny Cash
When I was 17 - 16, my father and I cut wood all day long and I was swinging that crosscut saw and hauling wood.
Johnny Cash
Stop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love.
Johnny Cash
I Walk The Line was my third record.
Johnny Cash
My mother told me to keep on singing, and that kept me working through the cotton fields. She said God has his hand on you. You'll be singing for the world someday.
Johnny Cash
If you have political convictions... keep 'em to yourself
Johnny Cash
After about three lessons [my] voice teacher said, Don't take voice lessons. Do it your way. You're a song stylist. Always do it your way.
Johnny Cash
It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.
Johnny Cash
All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.
Johnny Cash
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand, and tried to tell himself at last he had become a man.
Johnny Cash
You've got a song you're singing from your gut, you want that audience to feel it in their gut. And you've got to make them think that you're one of them sitting out there with them too. They've got to be able to relate to what you're doing.
Johnny Cash
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
Johnny Cash
You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.
Johnny Cash
