“I wanted two solid months of Neil Young, but he told me it was, quote, 'getting creepy,' ”
Conan O'Brien
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
“How do I explain Neil Young? Great question! I explain Neil Young as, I would kill to see his acoustic shows.”
Bob Mould
“The phone rings in the studio. It says, 'Neil Young for Stephen ... Hi, I'm in San Luis Obispo in Black Beauty (Young's '47 Buick), and I'll be there in about four hours.”
Stephen Stills
“I am surprised nothing has been made of the fact that astronaut Neil Armstrong carried no sidearms when he landed on the moon”
Arthur J. Goldberg
“I don't worry about it, ... I just worked with Neil Jordan on 'Breakfast On Pluto,' where I play an Irish transvestite singer in a London cabaret.'”
Cillian Murphy
“You stay in contact with the (former Rangers GM) Neil Smiths, ... because those guys could resurface. If someone decides to put a team in Honolulu, you want to be able to say 'Neil, remember me. I'm the perfect guy to get your pineapple drinks.'”
Pierre McGuire
