More quotes by Van Morrison
Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison
It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.
Van Morrison
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
Van Morrison
Whether you're writing a book or a song or whatever, you've got to be involved in it. It's got to come from the heart I think...that's what it's all about.
Van Morrison
Basically I got an insight into what it really was through Alcoholics Anonymous. One day the switchboard lit up and I saw where it was all going. I saw what alcohol could do to people and I saw that it wasn't a good thing anymore. Plus I wasn't a teenager anymore myself.
Van Morrison
[Being alcoholic] you're either too high or you're too low. I mean, I was always looking for the bell to ring. I was always waiting for that bell.
Van Morrison
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
Van Morrison
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
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
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
This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood.
Van Morrison
A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
There's an angel that's watching right over you All your trials have not been in vain Won't you lift your head up to the starry night Finding strength in the things that remain.
Van Morrison
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.
Van Morrison
There's always got to be a struggle. What else is there? That's what life is made of. I don't know anything else. If there is, tell me about it.
Van Morrison
I'm very lucky, I'm happy with life because my experiences led me to do what I had to do. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.
Van Morrison
