More quotes by Van Morrison

Image
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
Image
The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
Van Morrison
Image
When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love.
Van Morrison

When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.
Van Morrison
Image
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
Image
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.

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

I don't like to wonder about it-I just like to do it. That's what I mean about the image stuff and all that. There's far too much emphasis being placed on that kind of stuff... the whole emphasis on what does it mean? Everybody has their own particular vision.
Van Morrison
Image
The fact I wasn't getting off made me realize that I really had to take a hard look at it and at the type of music that I played, which ranges from ballads to country type stuff to rock and rhythm 'n' blues. It takes in a wider spectrum.
Van Morrison

You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.
Van Morrison
Image
Like I said, basically I'm a rocker. That's about it. Things that I've done away from that-branches that I've gotten into off of that - are just other streams, other things that I can do.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
Van Morrison
Image
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
Van Morrison
Image
There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
Van Morrison

Jackie Wilson said it was Reet-Petite, kind of love you got knock me off my feet.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

Sometimes you do know where the ideas are coming from and sometimes you don't. You might get a song coming through that you just don't know about.
