More quotes by Van Morrison
That's what it is-it's jazz. It's just jazz. That's what the whole thing is about to me. It's about what's happening right now in this context. This conversation is jazz to a certain extent. It's improvisation. What appeals to me about music is the improvization. That's what I don't like about the media-they're not living it.
Van Morrison
The whole trip that happened in the late 60s and 70s was kind of a throwback to a lot of folk styles. I got into it as well 'cause I started with the folk styles.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment, don't know what it is. It's up to you, the way you think.
Van Morrison
Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.
Van Morrison
When it's not always raining there'll be days like this. When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this. When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch. Well my mama told me there'll be days like this.
Van Morrison
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.
Van Morrison
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
Van Morrison
Rock is gut level and it just gets to people. I think there's far too much emphasis on intellectualization, especially in rock 'n' roll which is a primitive form.
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.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
My experiences with dope were not good for me. I had to go another route. Because in my experience, dope didn't give me those insights.
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 do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Van Morrison
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea They thought great thoughts about liberty Poets wrote down words that did fit Writers wrote books Thinkers thought about it.
Van Morrison
That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.
Van Morrison
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison
I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
Van Morrison
I just wanted to have a look at my whole musical career, get right back to when I started and why I started doing it in the first place.
