[Being alcoholic] you're either too high or you're too low. I mean, I was always looking for the bell to ring. I was always waiting for that bell.

Love of the simple is all that I need, I've no time for schism or lovers of greed.
Van Morrison
Image
Way over on the railroad, Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together, Every scrapbook stuck with glue, And I'll stand beside you, Beside you, child.
Van Morrison

I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.
Van Morrison
Image
What I don't like is taking it to extremes and making all these intellectualizations about what basically is simple music. It's simple stream-of-consciousness stuff in my songs. What I'm trying to get across is misinterpreted.

As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.

We're [with Robbie Robertson ] jazz musicians. The context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. It's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. It can never be the same.

Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time

Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
Van Morrison

No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.

[Jean-Paul] Sartre was a throwback to the existential period. I'm not really so much into that these days. I went through a period of going over things and looking at them again to see what they were. But I'm into psychiatry type things. I'm into philosophy. I'm into that sort of thing.

Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison

Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
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.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.
