After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Let silence be the art you practice.

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

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

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

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.

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

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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?

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.

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.

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!
