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

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.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

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

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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