He also said things like... And it’s how I remember the quotes, not exact words, but I have a pretty decent memory so bear with me, and I’m also drunk again, so double bare with me please:
“I read not so much, but what I read usually inspires me”
“If you can transform the negative energy into positive energy, if you’re able to turn dire straits situation, please exuse the term, into positive one, you will never break, and will start to make art. It reminds me of how people can write books in prison”
“I would want a day to be 60 hours”
“Music for Bob Dylan is just a vehicle for his poetry”
“Writing songs is that works for me. I could do something else, but at least that’s harmless. I can do my job without worrying of being arrested”
“You should be able to learn what you love to do, and do it as best as you can. Make it your occupation and work will never be a four-letter-word to you”
“I write songs. My prose would look like a message to milkman. It’s better for me to stick with writing songs”
“What Dire Straits really means? It means In Shit”
After all, who cares about exact quotes. But I can guarantee you Mark 100% said it.
