The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

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.

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

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.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
