More quotes by 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
When I think about country music, I think about America.
Johnny Cash
If you aren't gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.
Johnny Cash

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
Everything I have and everything I do is now given completely to Jesus Christ.
Johnny Cash
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
My mother always told me that any talent is a gift of God and I always believed it. If I quit, I would just live in front of the television and get fat and die pretty soon.
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
I admit I'm a fool for you, because your mine, I walk the line.
Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash
They're powerful, those songs. At times they've been my only way back, the only door out of the dark, bad places the black dog calls home.
Johnny Cash
It takes a real man to live for God-a lot more man than to live for the devil, you know? If you really want to live right these days, you gotta be tough.
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
The gospel of Christ must always be an open door with a welcome sign for all.
Johnny Cash
I started to write the song. And I was in Gladewater, Texas, one night with Carl Perkins and I said, I've got a good idea for a song. And I sang him the first verse that I had written, and I said it's called Because You're Mine. And he said, I Walk The Line is a better title, so I changed it to I Walk The Line.
Johnny Cash
I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
Johnny Cash
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Johnny Cash
What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?
Johnny Cash
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
