Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

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

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

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

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

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.

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

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

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
