I know there are people who dont like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated, but my audience has been very good – they dont bother me and when they do contact me its usually on the nicest possible terms. – James Taylor
I believe 100 percent in the power and importance of music. – 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
