If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
Image
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.

Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
Image
There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.
Van Morrison
Image
I find it extremely difficult talking about my songs because there's so many different things that can make a song come together.
Van Morrison

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.

Performing was the natural thing originally and the rest of it [records and so on] is just like offshoots of that. That's how I see it anyway.
Van Morrison
Image
[Rock 'n' roll] is still a primitive form and there's no way you can get away from that. It's one of the primitive art forms and that's why it's good and that's why it's lasted...you know, it hasn't become sophisticated and it's not in the opera house.
Van Morrison
Image
I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
Van Morrison
Image
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
Image
My responsibility is to fulfil what that natural thing is. The thing that I dislike about pop rock Top 40 music is that it's not natural.
Van Morrison
Image
Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.
Van Morrison
Image
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.
Van Morrison
Image
That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.
Van Morrison
Image
We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.
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
Image
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison

What I really like to do is just do the twist!

Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of them are

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.
