Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

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.

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

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

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

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

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

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

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

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

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.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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