“It would have been easier, If I had become a Buddhist, or a Scientologist or if I had gone to Sing Sing. ..  At every point in my life I’ve had to make decisions for what I believed in. Sometimes I’ve ended up hurting people that I’ve loved. Other times I’ve ended up loving people that I never thought I would.”
-Bob Dylan (Karen Hughes Interview – May 1980)
