More quotes by 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
I Walk The Line was my third record.

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.

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
Could it be the girls and boys are trying to be heard above your noise?
Johnny Cash
I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.
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'm thrilled to death with life.
Johnny Cash
The ones that you're calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.
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
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell. May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
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
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
He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.
