Performing was the natural thing originally and the rest of it [records and so on] is just like offshoots of that. That's how I see it anyway.

More quotes by Van Morrison
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
Van Morrison
Making love in the green grass behind the stadium with you my brown eyed girl.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
Smell the sea and feel the sky.
Van Morrison
There's a million things that come through when you put songs together and it's kind of difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it on every occasion. It's just like somebody writing a screenplay or something like that.
Van Morrison
My thinking musically has always been more advanced - it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
Van Morrison
There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.
Van Morrison
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
Van Morrison
You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.
Van Morrison
Ambition will take you And ride you too far and Conservatism bring you to boredom once more Sit down by the river And watch the stream flow Recall all the dreams That you once used to know The things you've forgotten That took you away To pastures not greener but meaner.
Van Morrison
If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
Van Morrison
There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
Van Morrison
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 was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.
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
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison
The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.
Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds that I may be a vehicle for thee.
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
