More quotes by 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
Let go into the mystery. Let yourself go. And when you open up your heart, you get everything you need. Baby there's a way and a mystic road. You've got to have some faith to carry on, you've got to open up your heart to the Son.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
I wanted to find out why I wasn't getting off on what I was doing and try and make some sense out of the evolution of it.
Van Morrison
I'm very lucky, I'm happy with life because my experiences led me to do what I had to do. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.
Van Morrison
The summer breeze was blowing on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden
Van Morrison
As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.
Van Morrison
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.
Van Morrison
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
I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.
Van Morrison
It's a marvelous night for a moondance!
Van Morrison
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.
Van Morrison
[Touring] is not necessarily a priority. It's just a part of who I am as a performer. That's obviously why I'm doing it why I'm in this business is part of me has to perform.
Van Morrison
You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.
Van Morrison
I also like to do physical things. I like swimming a lot. I like traveling. Not touring traveling but just plain traveling. I also read a lot. Reading takes up most of my time.
Van Morrison
