More quotes by Van Morrison

As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.
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
There was a conflict - the actual putting together of the reality of the situation didn't seem to gel. I'd been doing kind of a slow ballad type of thing on records, but when it came to performing, I felt I was limiting myself.
Van Morrison
Image
At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
Van Morrison
Image
Into the Music was about the first album where I felt, 'I'm starting here'...the Wavelength thing, I didn't really feel that was me.
Van Morrison
Image
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
Van Morrison
Image
I think we're going a bit too fast at the minute. The rate we're going is like we're going over the edge of the hill.
Van Morrison
Image
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
Van Morrison
Image
Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and it's all based on not trying to do it. From beginning to end, whether it's writing a song, or playing guitar, or a particular chord sequence, or blowing a horn, it's based on improvisation and spontaneity.
Van Morrison
Image
There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.

Hearing the blues changed my life.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
Well I've got to get out of the rat-race now I'm tired of the ways of mice and men And the empires all turning into rust again. Out of everything nothing remains the same That's why I'm cloud hidden Cloud hidden Whereabouts unknown.
Van Morrison
Image
It's like something happened to you that caused you to do what you do...you heard something somewhere, you felt something about this music that was definitely part of your own vision. That's what the whole thing is like.

You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.

You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
