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

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

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

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

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

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

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.

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.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

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

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

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

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.

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

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.
