More quotes by Johnny Cash
[My mother] made the money to send me.
Johnny Cash
Creative people have to be fed from the divine source. I have to get fed. I had to get filled up in order to pour out.
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 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
No matter how much you've sinned, no matter how much you've stumbled, no matter how much you fall, no matter how far you've got from God, don't give up. You can still be redeemed. As someone says, keep the faith.
Johnny Cash
It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.
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
I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.
Johnny Cash
When I get an idea for a song it would gel in my mind for weeks or months, and then one day just like that, Ill write it.
Johnny Cash
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.
Johnny Cash
A person knows when it just seems to feel right to them. Listen to your heart.
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
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
I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.
Johnny Cash
So we raise her up every morning, we take her down every night, we don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right. On second thought, I do like to brag 'cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag.
Johnny Cash
People call me wild. Not really though, I'm not.I guess I've never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I'm country.
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
I worked there [on Pontiac] three weeks, got really sick of it, went back home and joined the Air Force.
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
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.
