Bob Dylan: I don't drink hard liquor, if that's what you mean.
Interviewer: No. The world in general. You and the world.
Bob Dylan: Are you kidding? The world don't need me. Christ. I'm only five feet ten. The world could get along fine without me. Don't cha know, everybody dies. It don't matter how important you think you are. Look at Shakespeare. Napoleon. Edgar Allen Poe, for that matter. They're all dead, right?
