More quotes by Johnny Cash
I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.
Johnny Cash
The first time I knew what I wanted to do with my life was when I was about four years old. I was listening to an old Victrola, playing a railroad song...I thought that was the most wonderful, amazing thing...That you could take this piece of wax and music would come out of that box. From that day on, I wanted to sing on the radio.
Johnny Cash
I came to believe in a power much higher than I
Johnny Cash
Rick Rubin came to my concert in Orange County, Calif. I believe this was, like, '83 when he first came and listened to the show. And then afterwards, I went in the dressing room and sat and talked to him.
Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Johnny Cash
Love is a burning thing and it makes a firey ring.
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
It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.
Johnny Cash
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Johnny Cash
Sam Phillips responded most to a song of mine called, Hey Porter, which was on the first record.
Johnny Cash
When you sing, you pray twice.
Johnny Cash
I used to sing Bill Monroe songs. And I'd sing Dennis Day songs like songs that he sang on the Jack Benny show.
Johnny Cash
Life is the question and life is the answer, and God is the reason and love is the way.
Johnny Cash
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line.
Johnny Cash
I wear black because I'm comfortable in it. But then in the summertime when it's hot I'm comfortable in light blue.
Johnny Cash
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way.
Johnny Cash
It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.
Johnny Cash
I'm thrilled to death with life.
Johnny Cash
Everything I have and everything I do is now given completely to Jesus Christ.
Johnny Cash
I admit I'm a fool for you, because your mine, I walk the line.
Johnny Cash
