More quotes by Van Morrison
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Van Morrison
Any artist is an instrument-and that's exactly why you can't do it all the time. You can only do it when it's happening, when it's coming through. No matter how much you may want to do it, if it's not happening then it's simply not happening.
Van Morrison
I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
Making love in the green grass behind the stadium with you my brown eyed girl.
Van Morrison
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
I don't like to wonder about it-I just like to do it. That's what I mean about the image stuff and all that. There's far too much emphasis being placed on that kind of stuff... the whole emphasis on what does it mean? Everybody has their own particular vision.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
Van Morrison
Smell the sea and feel the sky.
Van Morrison
My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.
Van Morrison
Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singer who got 3 or 4 Cadillacs, saying power to the people, dance to the music, wants you to pat him on the back.
Van Morrison
It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.
Van Morrison
You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.
Van Morrison
Way over on the railroad, Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together, Every scrapbook stuck with glue, And I'll stand beside you, Beside you, child.
Van Morrison
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
Hearing the blues changed my life.
Van Morrison
I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
Van Morrison
I'm not a rock singer and I don't want to be a rock singer. I'm not interested. It doesn't seem to get across.
Van Morrison
It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
