I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

More quotes by Van Morrison
I've always listened to jazz or folk or blues. I was always listening to the prophets. I don't really go for...I don't know how to say anything about the singles scene without slamming people.
Van Morrison
Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.
Van Morrison
Let your soul and spirit fly.
Van Morrison
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
Van Morrison
The wild night is calling.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
That's what it is-it's jazz. It's just jazz. That's what the whole thing is about to me. It's about what's happening right now in this context. This conversation is jazz to a certain extent. It's improvisation. What appeals to me about music is the improvization. That's what I don't like about the media-they're not living it.
Van Morrison
Jazz goes into folk music, into rock music. Jazz is in practically everything except classical music where they're reading the same music all the time, the same way, the same tempo every night.
Van Morrison
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison
No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.
Van Morrison
See the man on the TV with a phony smile. Bring you up, bring you down, he can turn your head around.
Van Morrison
It's the same thing as a primitive of Africans, Indians, nomads or whatever - when they start getting up and doing their ritual and doing the dance, it's just what's coming through. It's the spirit. Rock 'n' roll is still primitive.
Van Morrison
I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
Van Morrison
If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?
Van Morrison
I'm a dweller of the threshold and I'm waiting at the door, and I'm standing in the darkness, I don't want to wait no more.
Van Morrison
I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
Van Morrison
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
