Text Quotes
For Dylan, it seems, life is always the next gig. Changing pace and location are essential to his survival as an artist. (Dylan Quotes)
I don’t care if it’s a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs. (Dylan Quotes)
Bob Dylan wrote in his elliptical memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, he was washed up in the 1980s, no longer a commercial success, and no longer putting out good work. (Dylan Quotes)
I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the [Bob] Dylan song A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall. (Dylan Quotes)
Bob Dylan was again an entirely new person - this time old, craggy, cynical, and world-weary, as in Not Dark Yet. (Dylan Quotes)
After people like Lennon and Dylan, I think David Bowie brought a very modernistic intelligence and the necessity for change. I think he was completely positive, certainly through one and a half decades of completely overriding influence, in the best of popular music, and I take my bloody hat off to him! (Dylan Quotes)
[Bob] Dylan is a contemporary Don Quixote, at once besotted by the promise of America and yet also undermining it. (Dylan Quotes)
Dylan Thomas is now as much a case history as a chapter in the history of poetry (Dylan Quotes)
There’s one of my new poems actually - is a good example of where my poetry has ended up. My earlier river poetry was more like a cross between Shelley and Dylan Thomas. (Dylan Quotes)
It’s not name dropping, but not many people can say, like me, that they spent the day with the likes of Francis Bacon or that boring drunk Dylan Thomas. You don’t forget things like that. (Dylan Quotes)
I’ve been interested in writing and storytelling since I learned to read, but it wasn’t until I read Dylan Thomas, when I was 14, that I became interested in language itself, and saw it as more than a transparent medium for a story. (Dylan Quotes)
I’m not Welsh and I didn’t know that much about Dylan Thomas , and I saw that he’s a huge icon of Welsh-ness. (Dylan Quotes)
The heroes of our youth grow old - ‘the boys of summer in their ruin,’ in Dylan Thomas’s verse - yet we seem the same. (Dylan Quotes)
I’m not as self-destructive as Dylan Thomas, but I’ve certainly been around that behavior enough to have found it a release. The thing that I really enjoyed was being able to play misery. (Dylan Quotes)
The closer you get to death, the more alive you feel. Dylan Thomas wrote, Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. My dad always taught me to live like that. Dad wrote a poem too. It goes, Dune buggies. Woohoo! (Dylan Quotes)
Religion is commodified; the educational system is a sham; and yet,[Bob] Dylan wonders, everyone has to stand naked sometime. (Dylan Quotes)
If it works for the piece of music, I’m going to use it. I don’t want to be limited any more than [Bob] Dylan wanted to be limited by not using an electric guitar. (Dylan Quotes)
I think what made John Lennon so exciting as an artist is that, like Dylan and other musicians with a truly important musical legacy, he had several faces, personas that changed over time as he developed. (Dylan Quotes)
The best songs of this [modern] period - the apocalyptic High Water, for example - return [Bob] Dylan to where he was in his first phase, updating and transforming American traditional music. (Dylan Quotes)
Dave Van Ronk, for those who don’t know him - probably most don’t know - was a folk singer. He’s kind of the biggest person on the scene in 1961 in the folk revival in Greenwich Village, biggest person on the scene until Bob Dylan showed up. (Dylan Quotes)
I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen. (Dylan Quotes)
I think the height of ridiculousness was when I was playing Elizabeth in ‘The Golden Age’ while preparing to start shooting ‘I’m Not There.’ I literally finished filming Elizabethan grandeur on Friday, flew to Montreal, and started being Bob Dylan on Monday. (Dylan Quotes)
Bob Dylan wasn’t a big star early on; it was the release of his Greatest Hits album in 1967, and the mainstream success of the stoner anthem Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 (Everybody must get stoned!), that really put him on the mainstream map. (Dylan Quotes)
I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you’re Dylan, you can’t afford to completely disregard what your audience wants. (Dylan Quotes)
It was wonderful, a stunning happy ending to what began as another tragic rock and roll story, as if Bob Dylan had been arrested in Miami for jacking off in a seedy little XXX theater while stroking the spine of a fat young boy. (Dylan Quotes)
Except in these latter-day songs, [Bob] Dylan is a grizzled old prophet who’s already been to hell and back. (Dylan Quotes)
