Neil Young's quotes

Live music is better.
It's better to burn out than to fade away.
Remember when you used to watch TV in the '60s and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock'n'roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.
My my, hey hey. Rock and roll is here to stay.
As soon as you start talking about mystique, you have none.
I never met John Lydon, but I like what he did to people.
Somehow, by doing what I wanted to do, I manage to give people what they don't want to hear, and they still come back. I haven't been able to figure that you yet.
I'd rather play "Sweet Home Alabama" than "Southern Man" anytime. I first heard it and really liked the way they [Lynyrd Skynyrd] played their guitars. Then I heard my own name in it and thought, "Now this is pretty great.".
[on sharing an award nomination with Justin Bieber] Of course, I'm in the same category. I'm not in the same time zone.
The fact is that I can be really irritable when I'm unhappy about stuff. I can be a nit-picker about details that seem to be over the top. But then again I'm into what I'm into, so a lot of people forgive me because of that.
Every car is full of stories. Who rode in 'em, where they went, where they ended up, how they got here.
[on how well different things he's done in his life were received - or not] I didn't care and still don't. I experimented, I tried things, I learned things, I know more about all of that than I did before.
The songs the [Crazy] Horse likes to consume are always heartfelt and do not need to have anything fancy associated with them. The Horse is very suspicious of tricks.
At 65, it seems that I may not be at the peak of my rock 'n' roll powers. But that is not for sure.
[operating his train set] I am the Wizard of Oz in here. I can make anything happen because I know how it all works. Music is math.
Writing is very convenient, has a low expense and is a great way to pass the time. I highly recommend it to any old rocker who is out of cash and doesn't know what to do next.
The straighter I am, the more alert I am, the less I know myself and the harder it is to recognize myself. I need a little grounding in something and I am looking for it everywhere.
I did [marijuana] for 40 years. Now I want to see what it's like to not do it. It's just a different perspective.
[In a telegram to Stephen Stills after quitting a tour]: Funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach; Neil.
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.
I like people, I just don't have to see them all the time.
I don't think I'm going to be able to continue to mainly be a musician forever, because physically I think it's going to take its toll on me - it's already starting to show up here and there.
I still remember "the mighty Cros" [David Crosby] visiting the ranch in his van. That van was a rolling laboratory that made Jack Casady's briefcase look like chicken feed. Forget I said that! Was my mike on?
Sometimes, a smooth process heralds the approach of atrophy or death.
Sometimes, it's better not to blow up at someone. I can save that anger and emotion for my guitar playing.
I tell Ben [Young, his quadriplegic, cerebral-palsy son] everything, and he listens. He knows everything, but who is he going to tell?
[on Kurt Cobain quoting a Young lyric in his suicide note] I wrote it for the rock and roll star, meaning that if you go while you are burning hottest, then that is how you are remembered - at the peak of your powers forever. That is rock and roll.
[on composing some of his best songs while stoned, in bed] I had a guitar case near the bed - probably too near the bed in the opinion of most of the women I had relationships with.
I vow to speak up and to do what I can to protect "Earth".
[on AIDS] It is scary. You go to a supermarket and you see a faggot behind the f*ckin' cash register, you don't want him to handle your potatoes.
