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

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.

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.

What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice. It says what it is and obviously nobody is going to analyze that. It's exactly what it is.

Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.
Van Morrison

I felt kind of bored at the prospect of writing some more of my own songs because I really wasn't saying what I wanted to say.
Van Morrison

Somebody's going to hear a song that will key in a nerve or something in their experience that represents their own vision. And the next person is going to see it completely different. So even what it means to me is probably irrelevant. It's totally irrelevant. What matters is what it means to each person listening to it.

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
Image
I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
Image
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

Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.
Van Morrison
Image
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.

This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood.

Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.

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