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.

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

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.
