Quote

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!

It's odd but even when I was a kid, I would write about 'old and other times' as though I had a lot of years behind me. Now I do, so there is a difference in the weight of memory.

I went to a middle-class school, but my background is working class. I got the best of both worlds, I saw both classes, so I have a pretty fair idea of how people live and why they do it.

I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.

We slit the Catholic throat, stoned the poor on such slogans as wish you could hear and love is all we need.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.

TV has eaten up everything else, and Warhol films are all that are left, which is fabulous. Pork could become the next I Love Lucy, the great American domestic comedy. It's about how people really live, not like Lucy, who never touched dishwater. It's about people living and hustling to survive.

I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave

With Let's Dance, there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

Comfort comes into your house first as guest, then as a host, then finally as the master.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
