Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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.

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

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.

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.

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

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.

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

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

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

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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