Attention Quote by James Taylor

“It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical. But it's what everyone wants - to get everyone's attention, to have your music make a living for you, to be validated in that way.” quote by James Taylor — Download Open image
