Bob Dylan

Songwriter and musician; Nobel laureate in Literature, 2016

Recorded said elsewhere, not written here

My problem is that I'm too relaxed, too laidback. Most of the time I feel like a flat tire; totally unmotivated, positively lifeless. I can fall asleep at any time during the day. It takes a lot to get me stimulated, and I'm an excessively sensitive person, which complicates things. I can be totally at ease one minute, and then, for no reason whatsoever, I get restless and fidgety; doesn't seem to be any middle ground.
