We're not trying to change the world; just music.

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.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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 have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

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

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

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

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.
