I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up… He’s just so damn effortless.

Bob Dylan, Rolling Stone, 2007

“Toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat.“ “We smoked the last one an hour ago.” So I looked at the scenery. She read her magazine. And the moon rose over an open field.

“Kathy, I’m lost,” I said, Though I knew she was sleeping. "I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why. Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike, They’ve all come to look for America.”

There is this period of John which is all pre-Beatles, pre-huge fame, pre-drugs – and it is another John completely – that was always there right until the end. He got much sweeter, too, once he settled in New York. Once he was reunited with Yoko, and they had Sean, he became this sweet personalty again then when he was more comfortable with himself. But the acerbic John is the one we know and love, you know, because he was clever with it, so it was very attractive. But, for me, I have more than a slight affection for the John that I knew then, when we were first writing songs, when we would try and do things the old songwriters had done. I slightly regret the way John’s image has formed, and because he died so tragically it has become set in concrete. The acerbic side was there but it was only part of him. He was also such a sweet, lovely man – a really sweet guy.

I’m not gonna read TIME magazine, I’m not gonna read Newsweek, I’m not gonna read any of these magazines, I mean ‘cause they just got too much to lose by printing the truth. You know that.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

Your silhouette when the sunlight dims, into your eyes where the moonlight swims.
