"And I shall drive my chariot Down your streets and cry Hey, its me, Im dynamite And I dont know why We shall walk and talk In gardens all misty wet with rain And I will never, never, never Grow so old again"
"When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love."

"When I started studying tenor saxophone as a kid in Belfast, I did so with a guy named George Cassidy, who was also a big inspiration"
"Van Morrison is interested, obsessed with how much musical or verbal information he can compress into a small space, and, almost, conversely, how far he can spread one note, word, sound, or picture."
"Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and its all based on not trying to do it. From beginning to end, whether its writing a song, or playing guitar, or a particular chord sequence, or blowing a horn, its based on improvisation and spontaneity."
"Someone once described me as a maverick and thats what I would say. Im a maverick not by choice but by conviction."
"They asked me to come to New York to help celebrate Vans induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. I went because I see Van as one of the cats that has kept the faith. Like me, hes always himself — he stays true to the music that means the most to him. It meant a lot to sing "Crazy Love" on stage that evening."
