Dylan Quotes - page 2

You see Michelangelo and Picasso and you read literature. I had some innate inchoate yearning for that, but I never really saw where I would fit in. That's called art. And then something happened to pop music, which is that it became art under the hand of the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan and some other people. (David Chase)
I'm doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It's a wonderful script. View quote
Dougray Scott
Bob Dylan has a way with words that simply blows me away. When he forgets his lyrics he just makes up new ones on the spot, that is what I called talented! View quote
Gavin Rossdale
And you don't want to just totally mess up the rhythm when you're playing with Bob Dylan. View quote
Jenna Elfman
I've been influenced by poets as diverse as Dylan Thomas, Lewis Carroll, and Edgar Allan Poe. View quote
Jack Prelutsky
Bob Dylan has always sealed his decisions with the unexplainable. His motives for withholding the release of the magnificent 'Basement Tapes' will be as forever obscure as Brian Wilson's reasons for the destruction of the tapes for 'Smile.' View quote
Jon Landau
Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs. View quote
Levon Helm
Within the microcosm of a film you get drawn to people. There are certain projects you care enormously about, and 'The Edge Of Love' was one because I was portraying a great hero of mine, Dylan Thomas. View quote
Matthew Rhys
And I don't expect anyone can bring about a revolution in the way that Bob Dylan did - and really didn't - in the 1960s. View quote
Michael Stipe
Bob Dylan is out of the mentorship of Allen Ginsberg. View quote
Peter Fonda
The invention of Bob Dylan with his guitar belongs in its way to the same kind of tradition of something meant to be heard, as the songs of Homer. (Robert Fitzgerald)
After Nashville sushi and a long debate on Bob Dylan, we went into Woodland Studios at 10 pm that night for a look around, and jammed for 5 hours solid. View quote
Robyn Hitchcock
I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him. View quote
Robyn Hitchcock
I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience. View quote
Roger Daltrey
I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu. View quote
Toby Jones
As Bob Dylan forgot to say, "To live outside the law, you must be lucky." View quote
Spider Robinson
Throughout his life he would quote and write in his Notebooks chunks of John Donne, Edward Jones, John Betjeman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Dunbar, Shakespeare and his greatest read Dylan Thomas. Dylan became his hero. Sweetly, their paths would later cross and a good friendship would grow. View quote
Richard Burton
When I was 14 or 15 I was into the whole Spice Girls and I was a huge fan, but two years ago I heard The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell and I was like - fucking hell, I've been born in the wrong bloody decade! View quote
Katie Melua
You always have to keep pushing to innovate. Dylan could have sung protest songs forever and probably made a lot of money, but he didn't. He had to move on, and when he did, by going electric in 1965, he alienated a lot of people. His 1966 Europe tour was his greatest.... The Beatles were the same way. They kept evolving, moving, refining their art. That's what I've always tried to do - keep moving. Otherwise, as Dylan says, if you are not busy being born, you're busy dying. View quote
Steve Jobs
I've been really, really blessed. I got to perform on stage with Bob Dylan. I've gotten to sing with Mick Jagger. View quote
Sheryl Crow
The movie stars Michelle Pfeiffer as LouAnne Johnson... [h]er teaching methods are inventive. She bribes them with candy bars and free trips to amusement parks, and involves them in the words of that important poet, Bob Dylan (the Tambourine Man might have been a drug dealer!). Soon they're in the school library, finding connections between Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas... [w]hat, exactly, will these disadvantaged inner-city kids accomplish by being bribed with candy bars and the "relevancy" of Bob Dylan? Can they read and write? Can they compete in the job market? An educational system that has brought them to the point we observe in the first classroom scene has already failed them so miserably that all of Miss Johnson's karate lessons are not going to be much help. (Roger Ebert)
The story of English literature, viewed aesthetically, is one thing; the story of English writers is quite another. The price of contributing to the greatest literature the world has ever seen is often struggle and penury: art is still too often its own reward. It is salutary sometimes to think of the early deaths of Keats, Shelley, Byron, Chatterton, Dylan Thomas, of the Grub Street struggles of Dr. Johnson, the despair of Gissing and Francis Thompson. That so many writers have been prepared to accept a kind of martyrdom is the best tribute that flesh can pay to the living spirit of man as expressed in his literature. One cannot doubt that the martyrdom will continue to be gladly embraced. To some of us, the wresting of beauty out of language is the only thing in the world that matters. View quote
Anthony Burgess
I was a huge Beatles fan. The Stones, Dylan. Later on, I got into Stevie Wonder, and Bill Withers - he's one of my heroes. Al Green, too. View quote
Adam Levine
I'm a catalogue artist: I compete with Bob Dylan. View quote
Courtney Love
Dylan... said, "Both Becky and Kenny need medical attention-" "And a prison cell until their social security kicks in," Jilly added. "-but give us two or three minutes before you call 9-1-1," Dylan finished. This instruction baffled Marj. "But you are 9-1-1." Jilly fielded that peculiar question: "We're one of the ones, Marj, but we're not the other one or the nine." View quote
