There are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better.

They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives, put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It's like going from nowhere to nowhere.

Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan]; wit, to be sure, but "Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying"? No.

The people in my songs are all me.

I lost my one true love. I started drinking.

the only thing i knew how to do was to keep on keeping on
