Bob Dylan was again an entirely new person - this time old, craggy, cynical, and world-weary, as in "Not Dark Yet".

Well, you always know who you are. I just don't know who I'm gonna become.

Can't keep track of it no more, son's becoming husbands to their mothers, and old men turning your daughters into whores.

Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.

A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.

The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.
