I think the best exercise that I do is singing for an hour-and-a-half out on the stage, because, yes, I use the lung, the biggest muscle in your body.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.
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
There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.
Willie Nelson
Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them.
Willie Nelson
Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
Willie Nelson
If you’re not crazy there’s something wrong with you. Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
Willie Nelson
Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to food animals would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.
Willie Nelson
(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.
Willie Nelson
Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.
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
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
The fight to save family farms isn't just about farmers. It's about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It's about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It's about a better America.
Willie Nelson
When you hear me, you know it's me, regardless of the song.
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
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
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
If you got the money honey I got the time and when you run out of money honey I run out of time.
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
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
