Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was.

Never make it perfect.

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

I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.

If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

Everybody knows by now that there's a gazillion books on me either out or coming out in the near future. So I'm encouraging anybody who's ever met me, heard me or even seen me, to get in on the action and scribble their own book. You never know, somebody might have a great book in them.

Yesterday is just a memory.
