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

Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

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.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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.

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.

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

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

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

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
