One good thing about the past is that you can't change it. So there's no reason to go back. It's there. It is what it is. The only thing you can change is right now and what's happening next.
Neil Young
I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.
Neil Young

I am succeeding because people are talking about how they would do it better.
Neil Young
My career is built around a pattern that just keeps repeating itself over and over again. There's nothing surprising about it at all. My changes are as easy to predict as the sun coming up and down.
Neil Young
Mother Goose, she's on the skids. Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids.
Neil Young
And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.
Neil Young
I'm not a preacher, and I'm certainly not a good example, but I have my own feelings about God. I'm kind of a nature guy. My cathedral is forests, or the prairies, or the beach.
Neil Young
I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.
Neil Young
As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.
Neil Young
I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
