Моррисон, Ван: Цитаты на английском языке

“I can't sell myself. And I don't even want to. That's something that's not going to change.”

Interview in Musician magazine (1987)
Контексте: Where I feel this has cost me is in the personality situation, where you're expected to be a personality. You not only have to write and record, but you have to go out and sell it. Well, I'm not a salesman, and I'm very bad at selling things. If I had to do that for a living, I'd probably be completely broke. I can't sell myself. And I don't even want to. That's something that's not going to change.

“Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.”

As quoted in Too Late to Stop Now (1993) by Steve Turner<!-- Viking Penguin, -->

“Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and it's all based on not trying to do it.”

Interview by Dermot Stokes in Hot Press (March 1978)
Контексте: Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and it's all based on not trying to do it. From beginning to end, whether it's writing a song, or playing guitar, or a particular chord sequence, or blowing a horn, it's based on improvisation and spontaneity.

“And we're sailing, we're sailing,
Way up to Caledonia,
We're from Denmark.”
