Neil Young

Of course you have to support the troops. They're just kids. They're doing for their country what's expected of them.

With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

The thing about my music is, there really is no point.

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

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

I'm not a preacher, and I'm certainly not a good example, but I have my own feelings about God. I'm kind of a nature guy. My cathedral is forests, or the prairies, or the beach.

I just do what I do. I like to make music

Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here. I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around. Everybody knows this is nowhere.

For whatever you're doing, for your creative juices, your geography's got a hell of a lot to do with it. You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.

Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.

It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down.

Love is a rose _x000D_ _x000D_ But you better not pick it. _x000D_ _x000D_ It only grows _x000D_ _x000D_ When it's on the vine. _x000D_ _x000D_ Handful of thorns _x000D_ _x000D_ And you'll know you missed it. _x000D_ _x000D_ You lose your love _x000D_ _x000D_ When you say the word MINE.

Out of the blue and into the black

It's a robust time, probably the most fertile time for the underground and for revolution since Nixon. I'm not talking about political overthrow; I'm talking about just general cultural revolution. Bush has polarised the country and is creating this breeding ground for an opposition. In the next couple of months, they'll probably make it unpatriotic to be Democrat. It's pretty crazy.

Being a musician enables a person to bend the notes and express things that are inside you, no matter what.

Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning, find someone who's turning, and you will come around.
