Got no religion. Tried a bunch of different religions. The churches are divided. Can't make up their minds and neither can I.
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.

On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game.

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinking.
Bob Dylan

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.

Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'.

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.

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.

The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.

Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.

The best songs are the songs you write that you don't know anything about. They're an escape.

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.

Proud to steal her anything she sees, but you will wind up peeking through her key hole down upon your knees.

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

His [Bob Dylan] humour was dry and splendid.

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

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who reminded me of Tom Mix, and there wasn't any way to explain that to anybody.

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.
