More quotes by Johnny Cash
Why me, Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the blessings I've known? Why me, Lord? What did I ever do that was worth love from you and the kindness you've shown? Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so. Help me, Jesus. I know what I am. Now that I know that I've needed you so, help me, Jesus. My soul's in your hand.
Johnny Cash
Life is rough so you gotta be tough.
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 Walk The Line was my third record.
Johnny Cash
I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas.
Johnny Cash
I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain.
Johnny Cash
When I'm gone I'll be remembered as the workin' man who put his point across with a right hand full of knuckles.
Johnny Cash
[My mother] made the money to send me.
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
Until things are brighter.. I'm the man in black.
Johnny Cash
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
Johnny Cash
I worked there [on Pontiac] three weeks, got really sick of it, went back home and joined the Air Force.
Johnny Cash
I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.
Johnny Cash
Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.
Johnny Cash
You know, the man's best friend is his dog... if he's got nothing else.
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
If you aren't gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.
Johnny Cash
I was wearing black clothes almost from the beginning. I feel comfortable in black. I felt like black looked good onstage, that it was attractive, so I started wearing it all the time.
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
The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.
Johnny Cash
