It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

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

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

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

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

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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.
