Bob Dylan's not a hype and a haircut: he's the real thing.

I think that with Bob Dylan around, we're living in an era where we have Whitman presenting new work, we have Dickens presenting new work, we have Yeats and Shakespeare presenting new work. It's that level.

Ignorance is no excuse, it's the real thing.

You can go crazy and play solos in the right place, and that's great because it can intensify and bring an emotional lift. But the thing is you don't want to get in the way of the song.

I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master.

I'm no model lady. A model's just an imitation of the real thing.
