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.

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

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

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

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 in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The earth has music for those who listen.

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.

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

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

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

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

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

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

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