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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

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

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

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

The earth has music for those who listen.

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.

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.

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

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.
