A Quote by Van Morrison

Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction. — © Van Morrison
Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
I'm a maverick. I've always been a maverick.
The whole world loves a maverick and the whole world wants the maverick to achieve something nobler than simple rebellion.
I don't live by "The Rules" you know, and if there's one person who has influenced me in that way of thinking, someone who is a maverick, someone who does 'that' to the system then it's Ian Botham.
Along with the differences that abide in each of us, there is also in each of us a maverick, the darling stubborn one who won't listen, who insists, who chooses preference or the spirited guess over yardsticks or even history. I suspect this maverick is somewhat what the soul is, or at least that the soul lives close by and companionably with its agitating and inquiring force.
A maverick feels like he has no choice however difficult his choice of expression. In my case, it was going backwards into tonality. It seemed so wrong. The idea that progress is going into the past in a new way is very strange, even though there are precedents.
I would summarise my politics very simply as the maverick left and proud.
I am a crazy Maverick fan. I would go there if Dallas was a great entertainment center.
I'm a maverick.
By doing what I do, by just staying, pardon me, true to myself and maintaining my maverick position, unbranded, unbought in a corporate sense, I've managed to migrate to and participate in the work of people far younger than my own children. This astounds me. It makes me feel all at once, beyond retirement age, as a player in the present tense. I'm a lucky guy.
Somebody asked me what do you regret. I said, well I was offered the role of Maverick in 'Top Gun' and I turned it down.
I may be a maverick, but it doesn't mean I like playing tricks.
There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role.
I was a maverick. I went to five different colleges looking for I don't know quite what.
History will dictate what my legacy is. And 'maverick' is fine, because I am.
There was a period when I wrote in Nashville for Maverick and then Warner/Chappell, and it was interesting.
