Play it fuckin' loud!

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

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

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

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

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