Play it fuckin' loud!

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.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

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