More quotes by Johnny Cash
Understand your man, meditate on it.
Johnny Cash
It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.
Johnny Cash
I knew Bob Dylan was searching for the truth and had been for years. And anyone who Really wants the truth ends up at Jesus
Johnny Cash
When I think about country music, I think about America.
Johnny Cash
He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.

If you have political convictions... keep 'em to yourself
Johnny Cash
When you sing, you pray twice.
Johnny Cash
I've never been accused of a felony. I never spent time behind bars except for a few overnight jail times back in the Sixties. [But] I think there's a little bit of a criminal in all of us. Everybody's done something they don't want anybody to know about.
Johnny Cash
I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.
Johnny Cash
I could wrap myself in the warm cocoon of a song and go anywhere.
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
There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.
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 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
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
I Walk The Line was my third record.
Johnny Cash
Could it be the girls and boys are trying to be heard above your noise?
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
Life is the question and life is the answer, and God is the reason and love is the way.
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
