Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

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

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

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

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.

Play it fuckin' loud!

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Let silence be the art you practice.

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

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

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

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

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.
