I was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one.

You are who you are. It doesn't make any point to go out and buy the Top 40 albums to see what those acts are doing. There's no point in hearing what's going on. The only thing that's going on is what's been going forever. It's just that some people dig that bag and some people dig the other bag.

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison

These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.
Van Morrison

If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.
Van Morrison

Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.

Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied
Van Morrison

It's like something happened to you that caused you to do what you do...you heard something somewhere, you felt something about this music that was definitely part of your own vision. That's what the whole thing is like.
Van Morrison

My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
