After about three lessons my voice teacher said, Dont take voice lessons. Do it your way. Youre a song stylist. Always do it your way. – Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You dont try to forget the mistakes, but you dont dwell on it. You dont let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. – 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 Ive got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer. – 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 dont ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father. – Johnny Cash
