More quotes by Willie Nelson
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, my baby left without warning.
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
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
Willie Nelson
Marijuana is like sex: If I don't do it every day I get a headache.
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
I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you keep skunks of all kinds at a distance if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.
Willie Nelson
If you start out looking at somebody, wondering whether he's good or bad, I think you're starting out in the wrong direction. I think we're all good and we're all bad.
Willie Nelson
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'.
Willie Nelson
But if you think of all the people who don't like me, just think of all the millions who've never heard of me!
Willie Nelson
What goes around, comes around.
Willie Nelson
I believe in looseness.
Willie Nelson
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
Willie Nelson
My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.
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
Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.
Willie Nelson
There are just certain sounds, music, that sort of you know people are going to like it.
Willie Nelson
I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.
Willie Nelson
I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to horses. I have always loved them.
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
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.
