Bob Dylan has broken his silence on the Nobel Prize for literature, which he says left him 'speechless.'

Asked if he would accept the Prize? 'Of course,' Dylan told the Swedish Academy, which awards the Prize, a fortnight after he was awarded the prize.

There was uncertainty if Dylan would accept the prize, leading one academy member to call him 'impolite and arrogant.'

When The Daily Telegraph newspaper asked Dylan if would turn up in Stockholm on December 10 to accept the Nobel Prize, Dylan said: 'Absolutely. If it's at all possible.'

Dylan also told the Telegraph that the award was 'amazing, incredible,' saying: 'It's hard to believe.' '

Whoever dreams about something like that?'
