Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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 aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

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

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.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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.

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

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

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
