I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
Bob Dylan

More quotes by Bob Dylan
I read On the Road in maybe 1959. It changed my life like it changed everyone else's.
Bob Dylan
Well, I don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first Wowee! pretty scary!
Bob Dylan
My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.
Bob Dylan
The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.
Bob Dylan
And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns... that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale... that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorientate myself. p.71
Bob Dylan
Beyond here lies nothin' But the mountains of the past
Bob Dylan
...don't criticize what you can't understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
Bob Dylan
Some times I think this whole world Is one big prison yeard Some of us are prisoners The rest of us are guards
Bob Dylan
How does it feel, how does it feel to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone.
Bob Dylan
A lot of people from the press want to talk to me, but they never do.
Bob Dylan
Ah, current music. What would that be? Ah, really, a lot of it sounds defective to me. It makes me restless.
Bob Dylan
You just have to keep going to find that thing that lets you in the door. Sometimes in life when that day comes and you're given the key, you throw it away.
Bob Dylan
There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.
Bob Dylan
I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.
Bob Dylan
The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
Bob Dylan
I don't need your organization, I've moved your mountains and I've marked you cards, but Eden is burning. You better get ready for elimination or else your hearts must have the courage of the changing of the guard.
Bob Dylan
God got the power, man has got his vanity. Man gotta choose before God can set him free.
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
Romance never does go out of fashion. It's radical. But it's out of step with the current media culture.
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
