More quotes by Willie Nelson
Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.
Willie Nelson
When I'm driving the highway by myself is when I write best.
Willie Nelson
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
I just enjoy both working and not working.
Willie Nelson
Fortunately, we are not in control.
Willie Nelson
Marijuana is like sex. If I don't do it every day, I get a headache. I think marijuana should be recognized for what it is, as a medicine, an herb that grows in the ground. If you need it, use it.
Willie Nelson
My wife actually got worried about my drinking so much regular milk, you know, so she got me into rice milk and now soy milk, which I greatly enjoy. A soy mocha's a fine thing.
Willie Nelson
Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.
Willie Nelson
When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.
Willie Nelson
I like to play small clubs.
Willie Nelson
I don't smoke as many joints as I used to.
Willie Nelson
I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it's not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.
Willie Nelson
There are more serious problems in life than financial ones, and I’ve had a lot of those. I’ve been broke before, and will be again.
Willie Nelson
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain. As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.
Willie Nelson
I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.
Willie Nelson
Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.
Willie Nelson
Let's get the government stay out of our private lives, once and for all, and stop arresting smokers. Let's take a stand for personal freedom.
Willie Nelson
Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.
Willie Nelson
Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
Willie Nelson
When songs fall from the sky, all I can do is catch them before they hit the ground.
Willie Nelson
