If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you. – 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
I dont read music. I dont write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself. – James Taylor
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
