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

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

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.

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

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.

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

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

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

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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.

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.

Play it fuckin' loud!

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?

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

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