More quotes by Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Johnny Cash
I had an empathy for prisoners and did concerts for them back when I thought that it would make a difference - you know? - that they really were there to be rehabilitated.
Johnny Cash
[Sam Phillips] laughed at me. I just didn't like the way I Walk The Line sounded to me. I didn't know I sounded that way. And I didn't like it. I don't know. But he said let's give it a chance, and it was just a few days until - that's all it took to take off.
Johnny Cash
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
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
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
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.
Johnny Cash
I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
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
We'll all be equal under the grass, and God's got a heaven for country trash.
Johnny Cash
I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.
Johnny Cash
As sure as God made black and white, what's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
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
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
He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.
Johnny Cash
I Walk The Line was my third record.
Johnny Cash
I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.
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
God gives us life and takes us away as He sees fit.
Johnny Cash
