You know, sometimes a person's reputation can be far more colossal than the influence of the person. I don't pay any attention to it anymore.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
I have always believed that fame is a curse. I never envied one of the famous people I've known.
Bob Dylan
Once I can focus in on something, I just play it in my mind until an idea comes from out of nowhere, and it's usually the key to the whole song. It's the idea that matters. It's like electricity was around long before Edison harnessed it.
Bob Dylan
People think that singing and playing is easy. It's not. It's easy to strum along, but if you actually want to really play, where it's important, that's a hard thing and not too many people are good at it.
Bob Dylan
Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.
Bob Dylan
People have different emotional levels. Especially when you're young. Back then I guess most of my influences could be thought of as eccentric. Mass media had no overwhelming reach so I was drawn to the traveling performers passing through.
Bob Dylan
Shakespeare's last play was called The Tempest. It wasn't called just plain Tempest. The name of my record is just plain Tempest. It's two different titles.
Bob Dylan
The radio makes hideous sounds.
Bob Dylan
People's lives are filled with vice and the trappings of it. Ambition, greed and selfishness all have to do with vice. Sooner or later, you have to see through it or you don't survive.
Bob Dylan
Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time.
Bob Dylan
I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.
Bob Dylan
Whenever anybody does something in a big way, it's always rejected at home and accepted someplace else.
Bob Dylan
And there's no one there to dry your tears. I could hold you for a million years. To make you feel my love.
Bob Dylan
Too much of nothing can turn a man into a liar. It can cause one man to sleep on nails and another to eat fire.
Bob Dylan
Is your money that good, will it buy you forgiveness?
Bob Dylan
Good and bad, I define these terms, quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Bob Dylan
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
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
An artist is always in the state of becoming.
Bob Dylan
You get older. You start having hopes for other people rather than yourself.
Bob Dylan
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
