More quotes by Van Morrison

I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.

Love of the simple is all that I need, I've no time for schism or lovers of greed.
Van Morrison

Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.

I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
Van Morrison
Image
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

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.

Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.

Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold

If you're with a good band and everybody's from the old school, it's different. When you're in your element, you're in your element and things just come. You don't have to drag them out or force them out. They just happen.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.
Van Morrison
Image
I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
Van Morrison
Image
Have I told you lately that I love you, have I told you lately there's no one above you. Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do.

I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.

When I first started drinking, it was working for me. It was great. Like when you're doing a gig and you're in a band and you're in the truck and there's nothing to do in the truck and the gigs are all the same and the hotels are all the same...it's the hotels, the car, the gig.

I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.

You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.

I always record far more than I can use. There's probably twice as much recorded as comes out.

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. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.

Hearing the blues changed my life.
