Bob Dylan acknowledged his Nobel Prize for Literature win in a new interview published on Friday where he said of the prestigious honor, “Amazing, incredible. Whoever dreams about something like that?”

Dylan reportedly told a UK newspaper he intended to pick up the award in person “if at all possible”.

The award to the star was announced on 13 October “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.
