Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Let silence be the art you practice.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

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

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?

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.

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

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

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
