“The ones that you’re calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that’s part of it: knowing that you’re not shut out forever, and that there’s a goal you still can reach.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Somehow there’s been an immediate bonding between total strangers. We share each other’s triumphs, and when one of us gets hurt, we all bleed – it’s corny, I know, but it’s true.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“However, neither he nor anyone else could have become the star Elvis was. Ain’t nobody like Elvis. Never was.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears, you are someone else I am still right here.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“There’s a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there’s a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they’re no good. I don’t throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“When I record somebody else’s song, I have to make it my own or it doesn’t feel right. I’ll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn’t know it!”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I’ve got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“They’re powerful, those songs. At times they’ve been my only way back, the only door out of the dark, bad places the black dog calls home.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“It’s like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it’s off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I love to go to the studio and stay there 10 or 12 hours a day. I love it. What is it? I don’t know. It’s life.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“If you aren’t gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“People call me wild. Not really though, I’m not. I guess I’ve never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I’m country.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I took the easy way, and to an extent I regret that. Still, though, the way we did it was honest. We played it and sang it the way we felt it, and there’s a lot to be said for that.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“You’ve got a song you’re singing from your gut, you want that audience to feel it in their gut. And you’ve got to make them think that you’re one of them sitting out there with them too. They’ve got to be able to relate to what you’re doing.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“That was the big thing when I was growing up, singing on the radio. The extent of my dream was to sing on the radio station in Memphis. Even when I got out of the Air Force in 1954, I came right back to Memphis and started knocking on doors at the radio station.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don’t ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.”

Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I’m very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“You’ve got to know your limitations. I don’t know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren’t too many limitations, if I did it my way.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.”
