More quotes by Willie Nelson
Like anything else, you can use the Internet for good or ill. You can get out of it what you want to. There's no evil about it. The way I see it, it's a liberation.
Willie Nelson
Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.
Willie Nelson
Just because she's leaving, don't start believing, that your rock and roll days are gone.
Willie Nelson
...when you put your life in a good place, good things follow.
Willie Nelson
The whole house came up and I came up with it... I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.
Willie Nelson
Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.
Willie Nelson
There's a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world.
Willie Nelson
(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.
Willie Nelson
When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.
Willie Nelson
If you got the money honey I got the time and when you run out of money honey I run out of time.
Willie Nelson
I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
Willie Nelson
I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.
Willie Nelson
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
Willie Nelson
Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them.
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
Every now and then I'll think of something to put back in the show. I just kind of play it off the top of my head. If I do it that way it keeps it kinda fresh.
Willie Nelson
Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.
Willie Nelson
As far as advice goes, an ex-father in law of mine once gave me the best advice I ever heard. He said, Take my advice and do what you want to. So with that, go on.
Willie Nelson
Gatewood Galbraith was a good friend, and a tireless advocate for the repeal of the ridiculous ban on hemp & marijuana. His book ‘The Last Free Man Standing’ says it all.
Willie Nelson
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
Willie Nelson
