More quotes by Van Morrison
There's always stress involved in any genre or art form, there's always going to be a struggle. If there's no struggle, you wouldn't do anything. What are you going do? Retire?
Van Morrison
I'm not a rock singer and I don't want to be a rock singer. I'm not interested. It doesn't seem to get across.
Van Morrison
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
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
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
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.
Van Morrison
There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment, don't know what it is. It's up to you, the way you think.
Van Morrison
I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.
Van Morrison
Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied
Van Morrison
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
When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.
Van Morrison
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
Van Morrison
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.
Van Morrison
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow. Or like a Bo Diddley record that he heard six years ago. But the artist who made the record may never have even heard the Bo Diddley song. We all respond differently.
Van Morrison
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
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
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
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
