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.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

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.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Let silence be the art you practice.

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.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

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.

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.

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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.
