Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

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.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

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.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

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

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.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

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