I have no regrets. I feel very grateful for the life that I had - you know, family I live with; and I've been doing work that I love, ever since I came to Nashville.
Kris Kristofferson -
I never thought of acting as a creative process. Christ, I used to go to the movies and see Brando talking like he was trying to sell shoes, and he was great. I thought anybody could do it. Then I tried it, and I got so uptight, I'm limited as to what I can do on film.

Those 'Idol' shows are kind of scary to me. They wanted me to be on one of those panels one time, and I said it's the last thing in the world I'd ever want to do. I would hate to have to discourage somebody.
Kris Kristofferson -
I feel like sometimes, when I'm singing a song like 'Moment of Forever,' that it goes both to your significant other and to the audience, and was it wonderful for you, you know? I think the best love songs I've written work on that level, like 'Help Me Make It Through the Night.'
Kris Kristofferson -
I think it's kind of odd that 'This Old Road' was the first video I ever did. Because of all of the work I had done in films and everything, you'd think I would have done a video before that.
Kris Kristofferson -
I feel like an old boxer. The brain's gone, but I can still move around.
Kris Kristofferson -
Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before, in my time.She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend.I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind.But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end.And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.

Dylan's relationship with Johnny Cash was the biggest influence on Nashville in my lifetime - they opened up country music.

It's much better being an older father. You don't have to go prove to the world and to yourself that you're who you want to be, for better or worse.
Kris Kristofferson -
There was a film that really affected me, 'La Strada' by Fellini, where Anthony Quinn and Giulietta Masina travel around on his little motorcycle thing.
Kris Kristofferson -
Everything that I write is sort of autobiographical, and I don't know that I'm getting better, but I'm certainly running out of time.
Kris Kristofferson -
I never was one to go into an office and write. For one thing, I had a job. I was cleaning the ashtrays and setting up the studios at Columbia for a couple of years and working every other week down in the Gulf of Mexico flying helicopters. I didn't really get to just write songs for about five years.

If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.
Kris Kristofferson -
I've come to appreciate how special a song is compared to other art forms, because you can carry it around in your head and your heart, and it remains part of you. It just comes as natural as a bird to me, always did. It's the way singer-songwriters make sense of our lives.

I have no neighbors. I live in a small town where everybody is very protective of me.
Kris Kristofferson -
You don't paddle against the current, you paddle with it. And if you get good at it, you throw away the oars.
Kris Kristofferson -
I remember having a lot of Josh White albums. Johnny Cash. Elvis. I loved the Coasters.

Kris Kristofferson -
Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.
Kris Kristofferson -
I grew up listening to Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, so arriving in Nashville in the '60s was really exciting for me.

I did co-write 'Moment of Forever' with Danny Timms. He wrote the melody, and I just did the words.
Kris Kristofferson -
If 'Bobby McGee' lasts, if 'Star Is Born' lasts, if 'Help Me Make It through the Night' lasts, if all of 'em last, man... who cares?
Kris Kristofferson -
The great thing about Nashville back in the day was that the old guys hung out where the young guys were. The established writers like Harlan Howard and Jack Clement gave us encouragement and passed the guitar, you know? Chet Atkins let me sit in on his sessions. Everybody was good to us, and everybody loved the music.
Kris Kristofferson -
The first movie I was ever on was a Dennis Hopper film down in Peru.
