The Reluctant American: Some Interesting Opinions from Scott Walker
Norman Jopling, Record Mirror, 31 December 1966
"I DIDN'T like it in America, and I'm not going back to live there. When I did live there it was terrible – once I got knifed, and I never got on well with the people there. I'm not a big-voiced loud-mouthed Texan and I never was."
