Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

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

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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.

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

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

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

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.

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.

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