We wanted to slow down. But one would let us.

One morning, about four o'clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.

After you've listened to it, you'll feel like you know us a little bit better.

We always had Packards, until the war, when they stopped making them; then we had a Cadillac.

I stayed in submission to my husband, and he allowed me to do anything I wanted to. I felt like I was lucky to have that kind of romance.

This is the bunch of songs I did first, and it's just the type of thing I do. I am a Carter Family girl, so the record is book-ended with Carter Family songs.

Inside that book, it's my life-all the places where I'm hurting or I laughed or I cried or I prayed. And I've had to pray a lot!

For the last 20 months, I've just been going from one hospital to another.

I chose to be Mrs. Johnny Cash in my life. I decided I'd allow him to be Moses and I'd be Moses' brother Aaron, picking his arms up and padding along behind him.

He's just like my father that way-my father just adored my mother and let her do whatever she wanted. John's like that. He's a very rare man, a very good man, and I've had a good life with him. I'm proud to be walking in the wake of Johnny's fame.

We wanted to slow down. But one would let us.

I was never looking back in regret. I never thought, Oh, why didn't I become an actress? or Why did I just go paddling along after John? I've always walked along right by his side, and he's always supported everything I do.

I had all the material for a long time, but I was just too busy. Sometimes we'd sit around at home and sing some of these songs at family things, and everyone always said I should record them.

I worked with John, but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records, but I wanted to have a marriage.

I've flown out of character so many times. In that sense I've been lucky, because I've been given the liberty to do just about anything I've wanted to do in my lifetime.

It depends on how Johnny's feeling... If we go back on the road, we will go together. I'll go where he goes, and he'll go where I go.

I never see myself as writing satire. I think I write about people as they really are, without making them better or worse.

I'm very lucky to have a job that I love.

My standard uniform is a T-shirt and jeans.

I'm a handsome man with a charming personality.

The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for supposing it true.

Mars, when guilty of homicide, and set free from the charge of murder by the Athenians through favour, lest he should appear to be too fierce and savage, committed adultery with Venus.

In order to grow and to experience, one must leave his comfort zone. Very often this means that you have to do what you are afraid of in order to find what you didn't know you were looking for. This takes a lot of courage.

Having a partner who has nothing to do with Hollywood helps keep things in perspective.

The only thing you should ever quit is giving up

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

I don't think I'm particularly sexual, no more than anyone else, though I am very creative.

It is not a very difficult task to make what is commonly called an amusing book of travels. Any one who will tell, with a reasonable degree of graphic effect, what he has seen, will not fail to carry the reader with him; for the interest we all feel in personal adventure is, of itself, success.

If you don’t have a vision you’re going to be stuck in what you know. And the only thing you know is what you’ve already seen.

The tide of human suffering unleashed by the Syrian conflict has catastrophic implications.

At one school I visited, everyone had read 'Halo,' and they were all dressed up as angels - with halos!

I want to see one of my products being taken by people across the world. I want to see them improving and leading a better life. It's like playing God.

I am often disgusted at hearing young people I know, declare that they are afraid of doing this or that, because they MIGHT be killed.

A shepherd may be a very able, trusty, and good shepherd, without a sweetheart - better, perhaps, than with one. But what is he without his dog?

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for.

I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.

The interval between the decay of the old and the formation and establishment of the new constitutes a period of transition which must always necessarily be one of uncertainty, confusion, error, and wild and fierce fanaticism.

I really enjoy recording right after a tour. We're tired, but the songs are really lived in by then.
