More quotes by Willie Nelson
The life I love is making music with my friends.
Willie Nelson
My granddaddy died when I was about 6 years old, I think. And my grandmother took a job cooking in the school lunchroom. So she did great. She made $18 a week.
Willie Nelson
If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they're gone.
Willie Nelson
My sister played the piano. She’s two years older than me, and I always wanted to play something. So my grandmother got the guitar for me, and showed me a couple of chords to start off. And then I got me a book. Next thing you know, I was playing along with sister.
Willie Nelson
I don't think any person has any special knowledge about what God has planned for me and you any more than me and you do.
Willie Nelson
I got along without you before I met you and I'll get along without you a long time after you're gone.
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
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
I think innately knew that music draws people together and that good music is liked by almost everybody.
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
Willie Nelson
Marijuana is like sex: If I don't do it every day I get a headache.
Willie Nelson
When I was growing up, Nashville was the place to go if you had songs to sell and thought you had talent and wanted to tour and be on Grand Ole Opry [radio show]. It was the big deal back in those days to play the Grand Ole Opry. And you could travel around the world saying, Hi, I'm Willie from the Grand Ole Opry.
Willie Nelson
How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
Willie Nelson
Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues.
Willie Nelson
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
Willie Nelson
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.
Willie Nelson
More and more people are finding out the benefits of it - hemp and marijuana. The more they delve into it and research it, the more they realize, Hey wait a minute, we should give this another look.
Willie Nelson
Vaporizers are good for your lungs. Cigarette smoke will kill you. I never heard of anybody dying from marijuana smoke. Vaporizers I think are smarter.
Willie Nelson
If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.
Willie Nelson
You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody.
