Here are some interesting, inspiring, entertaining, serious, thoughtful quotes by Valerie June Carter Cash
I'm so busy and I need to slow my little tail down and sit down somewhere and meditate. I do my walking meditation every day, but just to sit quietly. Just to be in one place and be quiet.
I try to write every song that comes into my mind, even though I know that not every song that comes into my mind is a song I need to sing.
I just let the songs tell me what to do, they're my guide, and they're the boss. So I'm subject to the songs, and I let them tell me what to do. I don't judge them, I just write whatever comes into my mind.
When I first moved to New York, I still went back to Tennessee every few months to perform.
If there's something inside me that I want to get out, I just go play the banjo there.
When I was very young, I loved Whitney Houston. I thought she was the most beautiful thing in the world.
One day, when we were coming back from school, we saw a big cloud of smoke coming up, and all these fire engines in the yard. The garage was burning. I was 14, and we had lost everything.
When you listen to my music, you hear all these sounds going on in different parts of the song. That's because I was always in church with a lot of sounds.
I paid my dues. I've crawled into gigs. I've served coffee to people. I worked hard selling all these records in the back of my car. Girl, I'm ready to sell in a real way now.
Saturdays are designated for antique shops. Williamsburg in Brooklyn has some good shops. I go there and start tinkering with dusty boxes and shabby, worn-out stuff. I love it when I find something with someone else's name on it.
I grew out my dreadlocks 12 years ago because they give me the freedom to get out of bed and not waste hours combing my wooly, thick hair. I get a lot of surprises and compliments from people, so I feel like I'm doing a lot of things.
My number one style requirement is to be fun to wear. Nothing is too old, expensive, cheap, cute or ugly for me.
The challenge is how weird and different my voice sounds, so I have tried to sound like other people and be something I am not. I have tried to be a soul singer because someone else thought it was cool. Not because I thought it was.
My music confuses people because they think I will sound a certain way because I look a certain way with dreadlocks.
I have to stay true to myself and choose my own path.
Every writer writes differently, and so some write music first, while others write lyrics first, and some write while doing other things, and it's nice to see how other writers are writing.
I love performing live more than anything. I'm a little scared in the studio.
I'm constantly being inspired by the past and taking things from the past and letting them take over where I am now.
I don't care if you're Muslim or Christian or Buddhist or whatever your religion is, when you hear a spiritual song and you really open your heart, you can feel it. You can feel the message. Just a simple story.
My voice is who I am, who I was at 3 years old, and who I'm going to be at 90 years old. When I go on stage and people don't know who I am, they automatically assume, before I even open my mouth, I'm going to sing a Bob Marley song!
Being able to write songs in general is such a gift, but when you can share it with someone, it's such a joy. It's a very happy moment when you finish a song, and you're just like, Wow! That was awesome.
I'm always excited to perform in front of a live audience because I really enjoy it, for the most part.
When I was a teenager, Britney Spears was everything, that was the pop world that was going on, and I knew I didn't belong in it.
I was working like a dog as a housekeeper, barista, nanny, cook, so I could save enough money to sit down with my own instruments. Whenever I had 20 minutes, I would practice a new melody or write a new verse.
