More quotes by Ray Charles
I never said I was a genius. I never said I was a cornerstone. I've never said I'm a legend in my own time. You never heard me say nothing like that.
Ray Charles
Goodbye don't mean gone.
Ray Charles
Music to me is like breathing. I don't get tired of breathing, I don't get tired of music.
Ray Charles
I was born with music inside me. That's the only explanation I know of
Ray Charles
Dreams, if they're any good, are always a little bit crazy.
Ray Charles
I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.
Ray Charles
Sometimes my dreams are so deep that I dream that I'm dreaming.
Ray Charles
Hit the road Jack, don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more. Hit the road Jack, don'tcha come back no more.
Ray Charles
There's such a thing as too much happiness and sadness. What I'm after is contentment.
Ray Charles
Crying's always been a way for me to get things out which are buried deep, deep down. When I sing, I often cry. Crying is feeling, and feeling is being human.
Ray Charles
I think that most great artists who are extremely known, as I am, would intimidate a lot of people. I don't want to do that to people, but I know I do.
Ray Charles
I cant retire from music any more than I can retire from my liver. Youd have to remove the music from me surgically—like you were taking out my appendix.
Ray Charles
I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
Ray Charles
I don't think any of us really knows why we're here. But I think we're supposed to believe we're here for a purpose.
Ray Charles
I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.
Ray Charles
There are many spokes on the wheel of life. First, we're here to explore new possibilities.
Ray Charles
The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.
Ray Charles
The role of the designer is basically that of a good host, anticipating the needs of the guest.
Ray Charles
Just like you can buy grades of silk, you can buy grades of justice.
Ray Charles
When I'm having a rehearsal and there are new guys who come in to try out for the job, I always let my conductor rehearse them. Because I don't want the guy to get bent out of shape, because I walk in.
Ray Charles
