Quote

My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.

I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
Van Morrison

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.
Van Morrison

I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.

I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
Van Morrison

I thought of collaborating with other people which still might happen at this point. It might not. I was just trying to break the cycle because I had gotten to a point where I was definitely sure that I was on the wrong track after about 16 years.
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.

[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.
