Quote

Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used. It's just too much. It's pollution.

Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.

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

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

His [Bob Dylan] humour was dry and splendid.

keep a clean nose, watch the plain-clothes.

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

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.

There used to be a time when the idea of heroes was important. People grew up sharing those myths and legends and ideals. Now they grow up sharing McDonalds and Disneyland.

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

I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in my head, so I'll have to do it myself.

My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.

When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.
Bob Dylan

Every cause that ever I fought, I fought it full without regret or shame.
Bob Dylan

It will scramble your head and drag your brain about, sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out.

I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.

Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder

Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.

A record ... is a statement, it's its own statement, its own entity, rather than being about something else. If I was a painter ... I don't paint the chair, I would paint feelings about the chair.

Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.

Trying to create a next world war, he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor, he said I never engaged in this kind of thing before, but yes I think it can be very easily done.
