Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...
I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings. And I’ve never been too impressed.
A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They’re like strange countries that you have to enter.
I’m more of an adventurous type than a relationship type.
The times are a-changing and if we don’t we will sink like a stone.
Well, you always know who you are. I just don’t know who I’m gonna become.
All I’ve got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth.
Never make it perfect.
Don’t matter how much money you got, there’s only two kinds of people: there’s saved people and there’s lost people.
I’m not going to read any of these magazines. I mean, because they’ve just got too much to lose by printing the truth. You know that...
There doesn’t seem to be any tomorrow. Every time I wake up, no matter in what position, it’s always been today.
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what.
I am against nature. I don’t dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.
I really didn’t consider myself happy or unhappy.
I’m just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I’d be seeing Elvis soon.
If I made records for my own pleasure, I would only record Charley Patton songs.
Nothing can affect my voice, it’s so bad.
You must be vulnerable to be sensitive to reality. And to be vulnerable is just another way of saying that one has nothing more to lose. I don’t have anything but darkness to lose.
