Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

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.

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