Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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.

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

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

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

Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside

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

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.

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

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

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.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
