There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it.

Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.

Opportunities may come along for you to convert something -something that exists into something that didn't yet. That might be the beginning of it. Sometimes you just want to do things your way, want to see for yourself what lies behind the misty curtain. It's not like you see songs approaching and invite them in. It's not that easy. You want to write songs that are bigger than life. You want to say something about strange things that have happened to you, strange things you have seen. You have to know and understand something and then go past the vernacular.

Just in time for Bob Dylan to recoil from the attention, leave the city for Woodstock, and turn his back on fame.

It's like going out to the desert and screaming and then having little kids throw their sandbox at you. I'm only 24.

Your mind is a your temple, keep it beautiful and free. Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.

I'm a liberal to a degree, I want everybody to be free. But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater move in next door.
