Johnny Cash on Criticism

(Filed under: Artistry)

"Ignore it. Do what you do. You can't let people delegate to you what you should do when it's coming from way in here [taps heart]. I wouldn't let anybody influence me into thinking I was doing the wrong thing by singing about death, hell and drugs. Cause I've always done that. And I always will."
