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

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

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.

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

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.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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.

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

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Let silence be the art you practice.

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

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

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

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!
