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

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.

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

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

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

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

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

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

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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.

Let silence be the art you practice.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

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

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

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

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
