All the signs were right. And when I mean all the sings were right, the only signs that we care about when we start a project of making a record is, do we have the songs - it's that simple.

Graham Nash

With Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young... we're very strong individuals, and we want our lives to be led the way we want them to.

Graham Nash

I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.

Graham Nash

I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has.

Graham Nash

I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo arti...

Graham Nash

I only do solo albums when songs are screaming at me to be let out of my mind.

Graham Nash

The Hollies, after I left in 1968, had the audacity, the gall, to have three number one records after I left. Thanks a lot, guys.

Graham Nash

People like Beck and Shawn Colvin are some of the people I listen to lately.

Graham Nash

Graham Nash

Graham Nash

Martin guitars have now brought out, you know, on a more traditional level, the Stephen Stills' model of Martin guitars. It's beautiful. I just went inside. I bought one immediately.

Graham Nash

We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.

Graham Nash

One can't deny what has happened to us in the past. The secret is to enjoy and be proud of the music we've created and the people with whom we have been linked. It's all a long chain of involvement in the world, and we are proud to be yet another lin...

Graham Nash

If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.

Graham Nash

I worked very hard on me and David's record and I'm extremely proud of the record, as most people are who were involved with it. And, it's been wonderfully received by people who like our kind of music, they think it's something special, and so do I.

Graham Nash
