I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.

I'm speaking for all of us. I'm the spokesman for a generation.

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.

Who am I helping, what am I breaking, what am I giving, what am I taking?

You five and ten cent women with nothing in your heads, I got a real gal I'm loving and Lord I'll love her 'til I'm dead.

If I made records for my own pleasure, I would only record Charley Patton songs.

Bob has never written a bad song. Bob Dylan is a genius.
