If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often.

I continually blacken pages and scribble away, so I always have a number of songs that are half-finished.

There were times that I thought I was good looking.

My sense of proprietorship has been so weak that actually I didn't pay attention and I lost the copyrights on a lot of the songs.

I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us: you don't write the songs anyhow. So if you're lucky, you can keep the vehicle healthy and responsive over the years. If you're lucky, your own intentions have very little to do with this.

Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!
