Jerry Jeff Walker Business Quotations

I always liked having a good time. I got into this business because I got fired from any job I ever had because I stayed out late playing music.

Taking over our own business and running it ourselves has tied us even more to our fans.

I don't try to write songs that will further my career. I write about things that I care about. I don't have a career as much as I'm having an adventure with a guitar. I never liked the business way of doing it. You have to follow some sort of instinct.

There seems to be a great propensity in this business to write tear-jerkers, 'You-left-me' songs. I thought, 'Why don't I count my blessings by looking at what I have?' I'm pretty much an optimistic guy.

Nashville is the business center. They forget that the bottom line of it all is still the song.
