The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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.

Play it fuckin' loud!

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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

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

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

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

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

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.

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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.
