More quotes by Bob Dylan
It rubs me the wrong way, a camera... It's a frightening thing...Cameras make ghosts out of people.
Bob Dylan
God knows there's a heaven.
Bob Dylan
I never saw myself as a folk singer.
Bob Dylan
Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.
Bob Dylan
I wouldn't even think of playing music if I was born in these times. I wouldn't even listen to the radio.
Bob Dylan
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan
The cards are no good that your are holding unless you're from another world.
Bob Dylan
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to loose.
Bob Dylan
Come Senators, Congressman, please heed the call, don't stand in the doorway, don't block the hall.
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
Maybe in the 90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the 80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit that might be all that's going on right now in a big way.
Bob Dylan
Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.
Bob Dylan
A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.
Bob Dylan
I do know what my songs are about.
Bob Dylan
In 1975,Bob Dylan was almost 10 years past his prime - and then he released the best album of his career, Blood on the Tracks. Written and recorded amid a painful divorce, Blood on the Tracks is proof that heartbreak makes great art - just as many of the albums that followed were the opposite.
Bob Dylan
There were only a few seats left in coach and Bob found himself seated next to a young female fan. 'I can't believe I'm sitting next to Bob Dylan!' she screamed.'Pinch yourself,' said Bob.
Bob Dylan
What drives me to you, drives me insane.
Bob Dylan
People think they know me from my songs. But my repertoire of songs is so wide-ranging that you'd have to be a madman to figure out the characteristics of the person who wrote all those songs.
Bob Dylan
You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
Bob Dylan
May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.
Bob Dylan
