Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
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.
The earth has music for those who listen.
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
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?
Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.
Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.
Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.
An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.
Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.
I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
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.
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
