That quote was from an interview with Robert Shelton, from No Direction Home. March 1966. It was shortly after he went electric.
Quote:Before the Beatles were known in America and before the folk-rock craze of 1965, Dylan had tried to show he was not a performer to pigeonhole. "I hate all the labels people have put on me . . . because they are labels. It's just that they are ugly, and I know, in my heart, that it's not me . . . I have not arrived at where I am now, I have just returned to where I am now, knowing it's the only way. What I am doing now is what I must do before I move on."
