The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

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 absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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

Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Let silence be the art you practice.
