More quotes by Neil Young
Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.
Neil Young
It's easy to get buried in the past when you try to make a good thing last.
Neil Young
The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.
Neil Young
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Neil Young
Did He give me the gift of love to say who I could choose? When God made me did He give me the gift of voice so some could silence me? Did he give me the gift of vision not knowing what I might see? Did he give me the gift of compassion to help my fellow man?
Neil Young
The way in which the USA and Great Britain delivered Iraq to the Iraqis, the way and means that this played out, that is the endgame.
Neil Young
I was just 20 years old when I wrote Broken Arrow.
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 think [song 'Can't Stop Workin'] it's the constant work performing and traveling. It gets to be a bit of a strain. But if you pace yourself, which I've managed to do, you can go pretty well.
Neil Young
I think in some ways - only in some ways - but in some ways, rock and roll has let me down. It really doesn't leave you a way to grow old gracefully and continue to work.
Neil Young
It's going to take a lot of love to make things work out right.
Neil Young
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here. I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around. Everybody knows this is nowhere.
Neil Young
[ Vietnam War] brought the people together and made the '60s like they were. The youth were very unified against the status quo - against the old line and the new old line. It's the same exact thing today.
Neil Young
Some get stoned, some get strange, but sooner or later it all gets real.
Neil Young
That's a defining moment, there, when someone plays an instrument that everyone relates to around the planet.
Neil Young
There were some things Reagan liked that I liked. The main component was that people have to talk to each other and help themselves.
Neil Young
We had the Vietnam War in the '60s, and there was a draft. The students didn't believe in it, and it unified them.
Neil Young
Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.
Neil Young
I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.
Neil Young
It's a blue album, but it's not a blues album. I'm not pretending all of a sudden now I'm blues.
Neil Young
