More quotes by Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.
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
There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
Van Morrison
I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison
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
I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison
Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.
Van Morrison
I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Some thoughts went through my head about recording some stuff that had influenced me earlier in my career like blues and early rock. But it didn't seem to really make sense at that point - it might have been taken the wrong way. A lot of people already had been into that trip.
Van Morrison
When the ghost comes round at midnight Well you both can have some fun He can drive you mad, he can make you sad He can keep you from the sun When they take him down, he'll be both safe and sound And the hand does fit the glove And no matter what they tell you, There's good and evil in everyone.
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
If you want to put your rock 'n' roll into mythology, [A Period of Transition] is from the Daddy Cool school.
Van Morrison
Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
Heavy Connection is just basically about psychic stuff...it's kind of about connections that you're not normally making. It's like a fate number where you're making psychic connections that you're not really aware of but they're there.
Van Morrison
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts, it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cos I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
Van Morrison
The theory is that you don't play a song the same way twice because it's jazz. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
