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.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.
Willie Nelson
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
Willie Nelson
Songwriters might write cynical, world-wise lyrics and constantly talk about money, but most of us are downright naive when it comes to business.
Willie Nelson
Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.
Willie Nelson
I think innately knew that music draws people together and that good music is liked by almost everybody.
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
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
Willie Nelson
I've known straight and gay people all my life. I can't tell the difference... But I'd never marry a guy I didn't like.
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
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
A lot of country music is sad.
Willie Nelson
I believe in looseness.
Willie Nelson
Indecision may or may not be our biggest problem.
Willie Nelson
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'.
Willie Nelson
In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.
Willie Nelson
Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.
Willie Nelson
If you go to a magic show, you don't want to see logic.
Willie Nelson
When you hear me, you know it's me, regardless of the song.
Willie Nelson
You will never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
Willie Nelson
When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.
Willie Nelson
