Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.

Let silence be the art you practice.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Music can change the world because it can change people.
