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.
Van Morrison

If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.

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

Van Morrison

I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison
Image
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.
Van Morrison
Image
[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.
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
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

I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
Van Morrison
