Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

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

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.
