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 was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
Willie Nelson
What goes around, comes around.
Willie Nelson
Oh, I think it's definitely spiritual. All music is. I think it's maybe one of the highest forms of spirituality.
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
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that's about all that's required.
Willie Nelson
Do something bad a thousand times and it's no big deal. Everyone just goes, Willie f - up again.
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
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
Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.
Willie Nelson
I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.
Willie Nelson
After every tour, I think about hanging up the touring hat, and after a while of not working, I'm ready to play. I think I enjoy playing music more than I enjoy not playing music.
Willie Nelson
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
Willie Nelson
It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
Willie Nelson
We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the commons denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.
Willie Nelson
Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.
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
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
Willie Nelson
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
Willie Nelson
