Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

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

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

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.

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.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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.

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

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
