I play these [folk acoustic] concerts and I ask myself, 'Would you come see me tonight?' - and I'd have to answer truthfully, 'No, I wouldn't come. I'd rather be doin' something else, really I would. That something else is rock... The words are pictures, and the rock's gonna help me flesh out the colors of the pictures. (1965)

She makes love just like a woman.
Bob Dylan
Image
Don't get up gentlemen. I'm only passing through!
Bob Dylan
Image
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud, I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
Bob Dylan
Image
Every cause that ever I fought, I fought it full without regret or shame.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.

It's not important what other people call you. If you yourself know you're a fake, that's tougher to live with.
Bob Dylan
Image
When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend, just remember that death is not the end.
Bob Dylan
Image
I gotta friend who spends his life, stabbing my picture with a bowie knife. Dreams of strangling me with a scarf, when my name comes up he pretends to barf.
Bob Dylan
Image
... we're living in a Machiavellian world, whether we like it or we don't.
Bob Dylan
Image
Tangled Up in Blue, shifts perspective several times during the song to tell a tangled version of [Bob] Dylan's marriage and dissolution.
Bob Dylan

The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode
Bob Dylan
Image
If you like someone's work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to. Anyone who wants to be a songwriter should listen to as much folk music as they can, study the form and structure of stuff that has been around for 100 years.
Bob Dylan
Image
We're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products. Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spiritual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you.
Bob Dylan

I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible.
Bob Dylan

Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn't work.
Bob Dylan
Image
I always thought the best kind of sunglasses are the motorcycle helmets with the black plastic masks on them. That way, nobody can recognize the back of your head either.
Bob Dylan
Image
Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.
Bob Dylan
Image
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in, sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks.

You use to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
