Play it fuckin' loud!

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

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

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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.

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

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

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

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

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