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

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

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

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.

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

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

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.
