मुझे वे विजेता पसंद हैं जो रोते हैं, और वे हारने वाले जो कोशिश करते हैं

I love winners when they cry, losers when they try.

जब मैं पहली बार नैशविले पहुँचा, तो किसी ने कहा था कि [क्रिस क्रिस्टोफ़रसन और मैं] केवल ऐसे दो लोग हैं जो डॉली पार्टन का वर्णन बिना हाथ हिलाए कर सकते हैं

When I first got to Nashville, somebody said that [Kris Kristofferson and I] were the only two people who could describe Dolly Parton without using their hands.

जब आप सेवानिवृत्त होते हैं, तो यह जीवन का एक पड़ाव है, यात्रा का एक हिस्सा है। आप बस काम करना बंद नहीं करते; आप एक ऐसा नज़रिया विकसित करते हैं जिसमें आप वही कर सकते हैं जो आपको पसंद हो

When you retire, it's a place in life, a part of the journey. You just don't quit work; you develop an attitude where you can do what you please

छोटे बच्चों पर भगवान की कृपा बनी रहे, जब तक वे नफरत करना सीखने की उम्र से छोटे हैं

God bless little children while they're still too young to hate.

मुझे लगता है कि गीतकारों की फितरत ही दार्शनिक जैसी होती है, और दार्शनिकों का झुकाव कविता और गीत लेखन की तरफ होता है, इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि ये दोनों साथ-साथ चलते हैं। एक गीतकार का स्वभाव दार्शनिक हो सकता है। सार्वभौमिक विचारों की तलाश करना, अपनी बात कहने का एक तरीका ढूँढना, और मनोरंजन तथा विचारों को झकझोरने के माध्यम के रूप में कहानी को सामने रखना

I think the nature of songwriters is that they are philosophers, and philosophers have a bent towards poetry and songwriting, so I think that the two run around together. The nature of a songwriter could be philosophical. Looking for universal ideas, a way to say things, get the story across as a means of entertaining, provoking thought.

ये हैं: तेज़ घोड़े, कम उम्र की औरतें, पुरानी व्हिस्की और ज़्यादा पैसा

It's Faster horses, Younger women, Older whiskey and More money.

धर्म एक अजीब और अद्भुत चीज़ है। नेकी के नाम पर जितने अपराध हुए हैं, उतने शायद ही किसी और बात पर हुए हों

Religion is a strange, wonderful thing. More crimes have been committed in the name of righteousness than any other notion.

कोशिश करना मेरे लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है, और कोशिश करने के बाद मैं असफलता और सफलता दोनों को एक ही नज़र से देखता हूँ

It is so important for me to try, and having tried I look back on failure and success as if it were all the same.

मुझे कप में कॉफी, छोटे रोएँदार पिल्ले, गिलास में बोरबन और घास पसंद है

I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass.

कभी ऐसा समय था जब देश के किसी बड़े कलाकार द्वारा गाया गया गाना अगर हिट हो जाता था, तो आप एक कार खरीद सकते थे। आज आप पूरा शोरूम खरीद सकते हैं

It used to be that youd have a song recorded by a major country artist and if it was a hit, you could buy a car. Now you can buy a dealership.

गाना संगीत में पिरोई गई एक कविता है

A song is a poem set to music.

क्या यह सचमुच मोंटाना का ब्यूट है, या सिर्फ अस्तित्ववादी उदासी?

Is this really Butte, Montana, or just existential blues?

मेरी सबसे अच्छी एल्बम का नाम 'इन सर्च ऑफ़ ए सॉन्ग' है। वह मेरा सबसे बेहतरीन प्रयास था। जैसा कि लोग कहते हैं, मेरा स्वर्णिम काल। मैं उसे शुरू से अंत तक पूरा सुन सकता हूँ। उसमें कुछ भी जबरยूसा नहीं ठूँसा गया है

My best album is called In Search Of A Song. That was my best shot right there. My finest hour, as they say. I could listen to the whole thing all the way through. There's nothing really crammed into it.

एक बंदर राष्ट्रपति था, हालांकि शायद वह पहला नहीं था। और पूरी कायनात में अमन और चैन था

A monkey was the President, though maybe not the first. And there was peace and harmony throughout the universe.

छोटे बच्चे वही कर रहे जो मैंने किया, बस उनका तरीका अलग है। वे आज के समय में दिमाग का ऑपरेशन भी उस तरह नहीं करते जैसे पहले किया करते थे

Young kids are doing the same thing I did, but they're doing it differently. They don't do brain surgery the way they used to do it either.

जिस तरह से आप गाने तलाशते हैं, आप खुद को जीवन के छोटे-छोटे संकेतों और सुरागों की तलाश करते हुए पाते हैं कि चीज़ें कैसी हैं

The way you look for songs, you find yourself looking for little signals and clues about life and how things are.

अगर बारबरा वाल्टर्स मेरा इंटरव्यू ले रही होतीं, तो मैं यही समझता कि उनका करियर भी मेरी तरह डूब चुका है!

If Barbara Walters was interviewing me, I'd figure her career was as dead as mine!

मुझे बहुत सारे कॉर्ड्स आते थे, लेकिन वे वे कॉर्ड्स नहीं थे जो उस धुन के साथ आते थे जो मेरे दिमाग में गाने के विचार के साथ आई थी। धुनें बहुत सरल चीज़ें होती हैं। अगर आप ट्रेन की टक्कर देखते हैं, तो वहाँ एक धुन है। अगर आप हवा में लहराता हुआ कोई छोटा सा डेज़ी का फूल देखते हैं, तो वहाँ भी एक धुन है

I knew a lot of chords, but they weren't the chords that came with the melody that came with the idea I had for the song. Melodies are simple things. If you see a train wreck, there's a melody. If you see a little daisy blowing in the breeze, there's a melody.

लोग सोचते हैं कि चूँकि आप अपने तक सीमित रहते हैं, इसलिए आपके पास कुछ ऐसा है जिसे आप उनसे छिपाना चाहते हैं||

People think because you're private, you have something you don't want them to know.

मेरा अपना धर्म है। मैं एक तरह से एक-चौथाई बैपटिस्ट, एक-चौथाई कैथोलिक और एक-चौथाई यहूदी हूँ।

I have my own religion. I'm sort of one-quarter Baptist, one-quarter Catholic, one-quarter Jewish.
