Im glad about whats happening to the music business. This last crop of people we had in the 90s, who are going away now, they didnt like music. They didnt trust musicians. They wanted something else from it. – James Taylor
Thats the motivation of an artist – to seek attention of some kind. – James Taylor
Though Fire and Rain is very personal, for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience… And thats what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons, and then in some cases it… can be a shared experience. – James Taylor
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. Its not as if I sit down and play Fire and Rain by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up… the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions. – James Taylor
