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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I'm drowning in whiskey river.
Willie Nelson
I am not a pig farmer. The pigs had a great time, but I didn't make any money.
Willie Nelson
I think there must be safety in numbers. If you f - up enough times, they forget which one you really did. They start thinking, Well, nobody can be that bad.
Willie Nelson
There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.
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 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
The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.
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
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 just enjoy both working and not working.
Willie Nelson
I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now
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
You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody.
Willie Nelson
How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
Willie Nelson
I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.
Willie Nelson
I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.
Willie Nelson
