You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
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

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.

Don't want to discuss it, I think it's time for a change You may get disgusted, some think that I'm strange In that case I'll go underground, get some heavy rest Never have to worry, about what is worst and what is best.

I'm talking about noise rock. I don't think that noise rock element belongs in jazz. It's not for me anyway it just doesn't fit.

I was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.

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

Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.

Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.
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

The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.
Van Morrison
Image
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
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.

You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.

I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison

You are who you are. It doesn't make any point to go out and buy the Top 40 albums to see what those acts are doing. There's no point in hearing what's going on. The only thing that's going on is what's been going forever. It's just that some people dig that bag and some people dig the other bag.

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

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.

I can see more naturalness in basic blues, basic R & B, basic rock 'n' roll.
