David Crosby Quotes

Being a hippy was the most natural thing in the world to me Picture Quote #1

Norah Jones is a breath of fresh air. Norah Jones can sing and play. She’s got some talent. I was totally ecstatic that that girl got noticed, because she’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

Sailing became one of the mainstreams of my life. I suppose my father was an influence. I remember seeing a photo of him at home sailing a big boat to Bermuda in his 20s. I still have it Picture Quote #1

When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before Picture Quote #1

All wars would end immediately if the various chiefs of state dropped a little LSD Picture Quote #1

I don’t like greed, I don’t like ignorance. I really don’t like anger. But I love love Picture Quote #1

While I was an addict, I didn’t write anything. I didn’t have the attention span or the will Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a very careful sailor. I know, me and being careful - doesn’t really sound right, does it? But when I sail, I take it seriously and take along spares for everything. You have to be careful when you’re 1,500 miles from land. There’s no one you can call. You’re on your own Picture Quote #1

I would do a Byrds tour or a Byrds record in a minute. I miss that band now. I’ve tried to convince Roger over and over to do it, but he’s not interested. Music isn’t something you can legislate into being Picture Quote #1

I produced her first album, and I was breaking up with her at the time. That was not comfortable. Falling in love with Joni Mitchell is a bit like falling into a cement mixer! Picture Quote #1

I do see things that are funny on the net. I Googled myself the other day and found out that I was worth $250m, and that I was the highest-paid guy in show business! I wish so hard it was true. It is, of course, the complete opposite. I’m neither rich nor do I make a lot of money Picture Quote #1

I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you’re carrying a message. Now admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story Picture Quote #1

Don’t waste the time. Time is the final currency, man. Not money, not power - it’s time Picture Quote #1

The easiest way to get laid by a girl, or get rid of her, is to write a song about her Picture Quote #1

I get egotistical about things where I can do something well - for example, my singing. Most other things, I don’t have the wherewithal to back it up Picture Quote #1

I gave up bread, and I’ve lost a bunch of weight, which is very good because I’m diabetic Picture Quote #1

I think ideas are still the most powerful things on the planet, and music is a great way to transmit them Picture Quote #1

I don’t collect the way other people do. Some people collect rare guitars, like, ‘I have a 54 Strat worth $50,000.’ And I don’t collect the way Nash does. Nash has Duane Allman’s guitar and Johnny Cash’s guitar. I bought guitars because they sounded good. I played them, they sounded unbelievably good, and I couldn’t resist Picture Quote #1

Neil Young played Helpless, and by the time he finished, we were asking him if we could join his band Picture Quote #1

It’s getting to the point where I am no fun anymore, I am sorry. / Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud, ‘ I am lonely.’ / I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard Picture Quote #1

I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty. I think, my God, I hope no one comes and busts me for this Picture Quote #1

The stupid thing I incorrectly believed for a long time is that I believed for a long time that some politicians could sometimes tell the truth Picture Quote #1

The movie I’ve seen the most times, boy, that’s a tough one. It would have to be a toss-up between Apocalypse Now and the first Star Wars. I think the first Star Wars Picture Quote #1

I want to go to Africa and find a really great hotel with good food right above a water hole where I can sit, have breakfast, and just watch the elephants play in the water Picture Quote #1

I can’t legislate a song into being; it just will not happen for me Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of people who look great but can’t sing Picture Quote #1

Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big Picture Quote #1

My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it Picture Quote #1

I write very sporadically. I write sometimes three things in a week and then nothing for a year. I make a space for it but I don’t push it. They just come and they come Picture Quote #1

Largely I write from life... I write from what happens to me. Mostly about love. People notice the other stuff more but I write mostly about love Picture Quote #1
