And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

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.

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.

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

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

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

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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

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

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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