“I heard the Abbey Lincoln song 'The World is Falling Down,' and it jus...” — Jim James Quote

“I heard the Abbey Lincoln song 'The World is Falling Down,' and it just resonated with me so deeply.”

“While I'm working on something, every single part of me is in it. But then, once it's done, I leave that place behind. I usually don't like to revisit it. So it's almost like listening to a different person.”

“When people are recording, and they're like, 'I want to get the drum sound of the Beatles,' I hate that.”

“When Dad heard 'The One and Only,' he said: 'That's a smash.' Dad played the demo through the speakers at Abbey Road, where we were recording. I was a huge Nik Kershaw fan and was desperate to meet him, but everyone else hated the song.”

“Abbey Road' was a fantastic record.”

“'Downton Abbey' has become this huge thing, and I really enjoy the success of it, but I sometimes find myself on the outside looking in, which is sort of a healthy way to look at it so you don't get too caught up in it.”
