You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.
Van Morrison
I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
Van Morrison
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
Van Morrison
I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time
Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Van Morrison
I forgot that love existed, troubled in my mind. Heartache after heartache, worried all the time. I forgot that love existed Then I saw the light Everyone around me make everything alright.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
A fantabulous night to make romance.
Van Morrison
I wanted to find out why I wasn't getting off on what I was doing and try and make some sense out of the evolution of it.
Van Morrison
The wild night is calling.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
I'd been performing in bands since I was 12 which represented, at that point, about 16 years of playing music.
Van Morrison
The theory is that you don't play a song the same way twice because it's jazz. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
Van Morrison
I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.
Van Morrison
