I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask.

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.

She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall. She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all.
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.

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.

Romance never does go out of fashion. It's radical. But it's out of step with the current media culture.

As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree, and the locusts sang off in the distance.

...don't criticize what you can't understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
