More quotes by Johnny Cash
He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.
Johnny Cash
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
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
When you sing, you pray twice.
Johnny Cash
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
Johnny Cash
Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.
Johnny Cash
Stop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love.
Johnny Cash
Gospel music is so ingrained into my bones. I can't do a concert without singing a gospel song. It's what I was raised on.
Johnny Cash
You can ask the people around me. I don't give up. I don't give up. I don't give - and it's not out of frustration and desperation that I say I don't give up. I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.
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
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 hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.
Johnny Cash
It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.
Johnny Cash
The ones that you're calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.
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 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
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
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
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer any more. Not the whiskey drinking Indian, nor the Marine that went to war.
Johnny Cash
My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
Johnny Cash
