Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

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

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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.

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?

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

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

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

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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