I've got no deep voice today. I've got a cold. But when I was young, I had a high tenor voice.

I met Sam Phillips when he came in [studio] and I said, I'm John Cash. I'm the one who's been calling. And if you'd listen to me, I believe you'll be glad you did. And he said, come on in. That was a good lesson for me, you know, to believe in myself.

You know, the man's best friend is his dog... if he's got nothing else.

We're all in this together if we're in it at all.

When I finally stopped [singing], he had been saying, like, the last day or so, he'd been saying, now, I think we should put this one in the album. So without him saying I want to record you and release an album, he kept - he started saying, let's put this one in the album. So the album, this big question, you know, began to take form, take shape. And Rick [Rubin] and I would weed out the songs.

Until things are brighter.. I'm the man in black.

I wear black for those who never read or listen to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness, through love and charity.
