We're not trying to change the world; just music.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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.

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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

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

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

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.

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.

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

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
