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
I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.
Willie Nelson
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
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
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
Willie Nelson
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say.
Willie Nelson
I believe that all roads lead to the same place - and that is wherever all roads lead to.
Willie Nelson
What has changed is that nothing has changed... that's what has made me more unhappy than everything else.
Willie Nelson
There's a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world.
Willie Nelson
Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.
Willie Nelson
If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.
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
I believe in looseness.
Willie Nelson
If you can be content right now, then you'll always be content, because it's always right now.
Willie Nelson
God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.
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 live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.
Willie Nelson
Biodiesel seems to be the answer to a lot of our prayers. Not only can it help the U.S. economy, our unwanted dependence on foreign oil, and the gasping environment, it could also help the family farmers out of this tragic dilemma they have found themselves in through no fault of their own.
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
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 a song was ever good, it's still good.
Willie Nelson
