Like a Rolling Stone [of Bob Dylan] is a kiss-off song like none before or since.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
Bob Dylan

Tangled Up in Blue, shifts perspective several times during the song to tell a tangled version of [Bob] Dylan's marriage and dissolution.

I made a bargain with him, the chief in a world we can't see. (devil)

There would be brilliant songs, but, as [Bob] Dylan admitted on the recent Martin Scorsese documentary about him (No Direction Home), the specific muse that inspired It's Alright Ma would not return.

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun, and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one.

I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.

I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.
Bob Dylan

People are going to say, ‘Well, it’s not very truthful.’ But a songwriter doesn’t care about what’s truthful. What he cares about is what should’ve happened, what could’ve happened. That’s its own kind of truth. It’s like people who read Shakespeare plays, but they never see a Shakespeare play. I think they just use his name.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am.

Let the dead bury the dead, your time will come.

Walkin' through the leaves fallin' from the trees, Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees.
Bob Dylan

They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives, put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives.

The executioner's face is always well hidden.

Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes. Daddy's in the alley, he's looking for food.

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinking.

We shouldn't confuse singers and performers with actors. Actors will say, My character this, and my character that. Like beating a dead horse. Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don't have to explain it to me.

The Rolling Stones are truly the greatest rock and roll band in the world and always will be. The last too. Everything that came after them, metal, rap, punk, new wave, pop-rock, you name it... you can trace it all back to the Rolling Stones. They were the first and the last and no one's ever done it better.
