Van Morrison

"Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it."

"Music is spiritual. The music business is not."

"You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works."

"A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception."

"I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous."

"Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag."
