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

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

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

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

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.

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

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

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

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.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

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

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.

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

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

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

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.
